Pronunciation

ROH-zuh-leeListen

Rosalie is pronounced ROH-zuh-lee, and it comes from Latin by way of French, tied to the rose through the saint's name Rosalia. You may see it glossed as 'little rose' or 'rose garden,' but that's more elaborate than what's actually confirmed — the real tie is simply to the rose itself, via Rosalia. With that flower connection and a classic shape that's held steady for decades, it reads as both natural and enduring.
