Roesia is Latin in Origin.
Roesia is a medieval Latinized Anglo-Norman feminine name, appearing in charters as a documentary form of Rohese/Rohesia. It derives from the Old Germanic elements hrod ‘fame, renown’ and heid ‘kind, sort,’ giving the meaning ‘renowned one’ or ‘famous kind.’ Through scribal and popular association, Roesia also overlapped with the floral name Rose, from Latin rosa, so its sense can also echo the rose symbol of beauty and love.
Attested across 12th-14th-century England and Anglo-Norman Ireland, the name is notably borne by Roesia de Verdun (c.1204–1247), a prominent landholder and castle founder. Variant spellings include Rohese, Rohesia, Roese, Rohais/Roheis, and Roesia itself; later cognates and replacements are Rose and Rosa, with related forms Rosina, Rosalie, and the Irish Roisin. Today Roesia is rare and antiquarian, appealing to those drawn to medieval heritage while retaining the friendly sound of Rose.
