What is the meaning of the name Roos ?

The baby name Roos is a Female name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced {'ipa': 'roːs', 'respelling': 'rohs (Dutch)'}.

Roos is Dutch in Origin.

Roos is the Dutch feminine given name meaning “rose,” derived from Middle Dutch roos, ultimately from Latin rosa. It appears in the Low Countries both as a forename and a surname; as a given name it was long a colloquial form of Rosa, then rose to independent popularity in the Netherlands and Flanders in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, frequently charting high in the 1990s–2000s. The flower’s long-standing Christian and romantic symbolism - purity, beauty, and love - underpins the name’s appeal and links it to saintly bearers of the cognate Rosa/Rose.

Variants and cognates include Rose (English/French), Rosa (Italian, Spanish, German), Róża (Polish), Roosa (Finnish), and Rósa (Icelandic). Dutch diminutives and related forms include Roosje and the compound Roosmarijn; English Rose and French Rosine are near relatives. In Dutch orthography Roos is pronounced with a long “o” (approx. ROHS).
