Origin and meaning of Rosanna
Rosanna was coined in Italy by blending two classics: Rosa, from Latin rosa, the flower par excellence, and Anna, from Hebrew Hannah, 'grace, divine favour.' The result is a radiant name weaving together the beauty of the rose and grace. Most common in Italy, where it flourished in the twentieth century, it also appears in English-speaking countries as Roseanne or Rosana. Parents love its soft yet confident, elegant sound.
