Roser is Catalan in Origin.

Roser is a Catalan feminine given name meaning “rosebush,” from Latin rosarium “rose garden,” which also yielded the religious sense “rosary.” In Catalan culture it carries strong Marian overtones via the epithet Mare de Déu del Roser (Our Lady of the Rosary), tying the name to the October 7 feast long promoted after the Battle of Lepanto. The imagery blends natural beauty (the rose) with devotion (the prayer beads), giving the name both botanical and spiritual resonance.

Documented in Catalonia from the late medieval and early modern periods, Roser remained in steady use and saw renewed visibility during 20th‑century Catalan cultural revival. It is most common in Catalonia and Andorra, rare elsewhere. Short forms include Ro and Rosi. Related and language-equivalent names are Rosa, Rosalia, Spanish Rosario, Portuguese Rosário, and Italian Rosario. As a surname, Roser also appears in Catalan and German contexts, but the given name is distinctly Catalan.
