Rossa is Italian in Origin.
Rossa is a Gaelic given name long used in Ireland, chiefly masculine. It derives from Old Irish ros, meaning “headland, promontory” (also “wooded point”), with the archaic -a ending common in early names. The name appears in medieval genealogies and place‑names, and it has seen modern revival; contemporary bearers include the musician Rossa Ó Snodaigh and Ireland’s Attorney General, Rossa Fanning. Its sense evokes someone “of the headland” or “from the wooded point,” and it is closely related to the Scottish and English name Ross and the Gaelic Ros.
In Romance contexts Rossa can also be feminine, reflecting Italian rossa “red,” or serving as a regional pet form of Rosa “rose.” Variants and cognates include Ross, Ros, Rosa, Rosetta, and Rosina, with Hungarian Rózsa as a parallel in the Rose family. Note that Irish Róis/Róisín (“rose”) is a different lineage.
