Rossolina is Italian in Origin.

Rossolina is a rare Italian feminine name built on Rosa (from Latin rosa, “rose”) with the affectionate diminutive -lina/-ina. The doubled s reflects common Italian assimilation in hypocoristics, yielding a clear unvoiced s and a sweeter cadence. As with the Rosa family, the core meaning is “little rose” or “beloved rose,” carrying traditional associations of beauty, love, and - via Marian devotion - purity. Some usage may also echo the Veneto toponym Rosolina, reinforcing its local Italian flavor.

Documented in Italian-speaking communities but never widespread, Rossolina appears sporadically in parish and civil records, with greater familiarity in northern and central regions and in the Italian diaspora. It remains uncommon today. Close variants and cognates include Rosolina (single s), Rosalina, Rosina, Rosella, Rosetta, and Rossella; broader international relatives are Rosalie, Rosaline, Rosalia/Rosália, and Rosalinda. Nicknames include Rosy/Rosi and Lina. Approximate Italian pronunciation: roh-sso-LEE-nah.
