Origin and meaning of Rose

Rose is the English and French form of Rosa, from the Latin rosa, the flower long seen as a symbol of beauty, love and delicacy. In older times the name could also draw on Germanic roots meaning 'fame', but it is the flower that fixed its sense. Much loved in English-speaking countries and France, often as a middle name too, it matches Italian and Spanish Rosa and the pet form Rosie.
