Roise is Irish in Origin.
Roise spans Gaelic and medieval Norman traditions. In Irish and Scottish Gaelic it corresponds to Róis/Róise, the Gaelic form of Rose; loss of the fada in English yields Roise. Pronounced roughly ROH-sha or ROH-sheh, it can also echo the Anglo-Norman Roise/Roese, a form of Rohese from Germanic Hrodohaidis (hrod "fame" + haid "kind, sort"). Through centuries the name converged with the flower-name Rose.
Evidence appears in 12th-13th century English charters as Roese/Roise and in Irish records where women named Rose are rendered Róise. Modern usage sees modest revival alongside Gaelic names, sometimes chosen as a sleeker alternative to Róisín. Variants and related forms include Róis, Róise, Róisín/Roisin, Roese, Rohese, Rose, Rosie, Rosa, and Rosaleen. Meanings draw either from the botanical "rose" or from the Germanic elements as "famous kind," with affectionate diminutives like Rosie and Róisín.
