rosalee is Latin in Origin.
Rosalee is a modern English respelling of Rosalie, which comes via French from Late Latin Rosalia, the name of a springtime "festival of roses," ultimately from Latin rosa "rose." The -lee ending reflects American phonetic style and influence of the surname or given name Lee, distinguishing it from the -lie forms used across Europe.
The name’s history is anchored by Saint Rosalia of Palermo (12th century), whose cult spread the Rosalia/Rosalie forms through Italy, France, and German-speaking lands. Rosalie flourished in the 18th-19th centuries and again in the United States in the early 1900s, with a contemporary revival; Rosalee has appeared intermittently since the mid-20th century as a softer, homespun variant. Related forms include Rosalie, Rosalia, Rosaline, Rosalina, Rosaleigh, and the Irish Rosaleen (from Róisín). Common short forms are Rose, Rosie, and Rosa. The core meaning remains "rose" and by extension "rose festival."
