Rozannah is a modern respelling of Rosannah/Rosanna, a compound formed from Latin rosa “rose” and Hebrew Channah “grace, favor.” The blended sense is often read as “graceful rose” or “rose of grace.” The pathway into English runs through Italian Rosanna, with the z introduced by contemporary Anglophone taste and by parallel Roz- forms such as Rozanne and Rozana.

Rosanna turns up in 17th-century parish records across England and Ireland, remained familiar in Italy, and enjoyed periodic revivals in Britain and North America, with a pop-culture boost from Toto’s 1982 hit “Rosanna.” Rozannah itself surfaces in late-20th- and early-21st-century usage as a distinctive, phonetic variant.
