India-Rosemary is in Origin.
A compound given name blending the place-name India with the botanical Rosemary. India comes via Greek Indía and Latin India, ultimately from Sanskrit Sindhu “river,” source of Indus; as a forename it entered English use in the 19th century. Rosemary is from Latin ros marinus, “dew of the sea,” naming the aromatic evergreen; by folk etymology it also evokes Rose + Mary, with Christian overtones. Together, India-Rosemary pairs geographic breadth with the herb’s symbolism of remembrance and fidelity.
Double-barrelled feminine names are especially popular in Britain today, and India and Rosemary have each seen periodic revivals (India in the late 20th century; Rosemary mid-century and again recently). Variants and related forms include India Rosemary (unhyphenated), India-Rose/Indie-Rose, Rose-Marie/Rosemarie, and Rosamaria. Diminutives: Indie/Indy, Dia, Rose/Rosie, Romy. Some note colonial associations in Britain for India; others choose it for travel or family ties.
India-Rosemary is absent from every birth registry and name dataset we follow. Names like this are usually very rare, tied to a particular region or tradition, or freshly invented. Whichever it is, scarcely anyone else carries it.
