Rossie is English, Scottish in Origin.
Rossie is a rare unisex diminutive and variant with dual roots: the Scottish surname and place-name Ross, from Gaelic ros meaning "promontory" or "wooded headland," and the pet form of Rose/Rosie, ultimately from Latin rosa, "rose." The -ie ending reflects a common Scottish and Northern English affectionate suffix, and Rossie also appears as a Scottish toponym, reinforcing its locational flavor.
Given-name use is attested in Britain and the United States from the 19th century; records show it for boys as a short form of Ross and for girls as a spelling variant of Rosie or a diminutive of Rosa. Usage waned mid-20th century but survives as a quirky, vintage choice. Related forms and variants include Ross, Rossy, Rosie, Rosy, Rosa, Rose, Rosalie, and Rosalind; nicknames span Ro, Ross, and Rose. Depending on the lineage you favor, its meaning reads as either "headland" or "rose."
