Rosamundina is German in Origin.

Rosamundina is a rare Romance elaboration of Rosamund/Rosamunda, built with the affectionate -ina suffix found in Italian and Spanish. The underlying Germanic elements are hros "horse" and mund "protection, guardian," yielding "protector of horses" or "horse-protection." In medieval Latin and later Romance contexts, the name was frequently reinterpreted through folk etymology as rosa munda or rosa mundi, giving the poetic senses "pure rose" and "rose of the world."

Usage has been sporadic, with Rosamund prominent in early medieval Europe, borne by the 6th-century Ostrogothic queen Rosamund and by "Fair Rosamund" Clifford in 12th-century England, while Rosamunde is familiar in German via Schubert. Rosamundina appears chiefly in Italian and Hispanic records as a modern, ornamental form, remaining extremely uncommon. Variants include Rosamund, Rosamond (English), Rosamonde (French), Rosamunda (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese), and Rosamunde (German). Possible diminutives and short forms: Rosa, Rose, Rosy/Rosie, Dina, Munda, and Mundina.
