Rosanniah is English, Italian in Origin.
Rosanniah appears to be a modern English elaboration of Rosanna, blending Latin rosa "rose" with Anna (from Hebrew Channah, "grace, favor") and ending in -iah, the biblical Hebrew theophoric element -yah ("Yahweh, the Lord"). As a compound, it evokes the sense of "rose of grace" or, by extension, "graceful rose of the Lord," though the last reading is interpretive rather than classical Hebrew morphology.
The name has seen sporadic use in English-speaking communities, paralleling a vogue for ornate, scripture-tinged feminines, and remains extremely rare today. Variants include Rosaniah, Rosannia, Rosannah, Roseanniah, and Roseanna; related bases are Rosanna and Rosana. Spelling with z (Rozanniah) is also seen by analogy. Diminutives align with the base forms: Rosa, Rosie, Ro, Sanna, Annie, and Nia. Overall, Rosanniah offers floral-romantic style with a softly devotional resonance.
