Meaning & Origin of Roz
Origin: English (nickname, likely short for Rosalind, Roslyn, or a similar Ros- name).
A common claim: Germanic, 'horse + fame,' via Rosalind. Actually: Rosalind's second element is more standardly analyzed as Germanic 'soft/tender,' not 'fame' -- and since Roz is just a nickname, it carries no independent meaning of its own regardless.
