r(o)-sal-yn,

US Popularity:1891
Origin:German
Meaning:Beautiful rose; Gentle or tender horse
A rose by any other name not only smells as sweet but sounds as pretty. Rosalyn, a girl’s name of Germanic origins—and a British elaboration of the name Rose—proves just that. Appropriately enough, Rosalyn means "beautiful rose" after the Latin rosa linda, popularized by the name's introduction to England by the Normans. This is a particularly lovely name for baby, as roses are often associated with romantic love and are given to beloveds on special holidays. Rosalyn is ultimately a form of Rosaline, from the German Roslindis, meaning “gentle" or "tender horse" and has the adorable nicknames Ros or Roz.
