What is the meaning of the name Rosalie ?

The baby name Rosalie is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ROZ-ə-lee (IPA: /ˈrɒzəli/ or /ˈrɑːzəli/); French: [ʁɔ.za.li].

Rosalie is French in Origin.

Rosalie is the French and German form of the Late Latin Rosalia, ultimately from rosa, “rose.” The name conveys the image of the rose itself and can also allude to the Rosalia, a Roman springtime “festival of roses” that honored the dead. In French, the -ie ending lends a soft, affectionate nuance that helped the name travel into other languages.

Attested across medieval Europe through veneration of Saint Rosalia of Palermo (12th century), Rosalie later flourished in France and the German-speaking world and entered English use during the 18th–19th‑century fashion for floral names. It saw early‑20th‑century popularity in North America, dipped mid‑century, and has enjoyed a 21st‑century revival with vintage appeal and renewed pop‑culture visibility. International variants include Rosalia (Italian), Rosalía/Rosália (Spanish/Portuguese), Rozalia/Rozália (Polish/Hungarian), and the unchanged Rosalie in French, German, and Dutch. Related forms are Rosaline, Rosalind, Rosella, and Rosetta. Common nicknames: Rose, Rosie, Ro, Lalie, Zalie, Lia.
