Rozlyn is English in Origin.
Rozlyn is a modern English respelling of Roslyn/Rosalyn, names that converge from several roots. One line runs through the medieval Rosalind, built from Old Germanic hros 'horse' + lind 'soft, tender,' later folk-etymologized toward Latin rosa 'rose.' Another source is the Scottish place-name Roslin/Rosslyn near Edinburgh, probably from Gaelic ros 'headland' + linne 'pool.' Thanks to the pervasive rose association and the -lyn ending, contemporary use commonly interprets Rozlyn as a "rose" name, sometimes simply as Rose + Lyn.
As a given name Roslyn/Rosalyn gained currency in the English-speaking world in the early to mid-20th century; the Rozlyn spelling appears mainly in late-20th and 21st-century registers and remains uncommon. Notable literary currency for the broader family comes from Shakespeare's Rosalind in As You Like It. Variants include Roslyn, Rosalyn, Roselyn, Roslin, Rozalyn, and Rozlynn; short forms include Roz, Ros, Rosa, Rose, Rosie, and Lyn.
