Rosannah is English in Origin.
An English elaboration of Rosanna, Rosannah pairs Rose (Latin rosa) with Anna/Hannah (from Hebrew Channah, “grace, favor”). The added final -h mirrors the biblical -h of Hannah and Susannah, lending a scriptural undertone typical of 18th–19th‑century taste for ornamental endings. The blend conveys “rose of grace” or “graceful rose.”
Found in parish registers across Britain and Ireland and in early American censuses, Rosannah has long circulated at the margins of use, eclipsed by Rosanna and Roseanna and now decidedly rare. Close variants include Rosanna, Roseanna, Roseannah, and the Romance-language Rosana; Italian usage favors Rosanna, while Spanish and Portuguese prefer Rosana. Do not confuse it with Italian Rossana, a form of Roxana. Nicknames range from Rosie, Rosa, and Rose to Anna, Annie, Sanna, and Zanna.
Rosannah is vanishingly rare. We count just 7 recorded uses of it worldwide, from 3 countries.
