What is the meaning of the name Rozsa ?

The baby name Rozsa is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced ROH-zhah (Hungarian: /ˈroːʒɒ/).

Rozsa is Hungarian in Origin.

Rozsa is the Hungarian feminine name Rózsa (often written without the accent outside Hungary), meaning “rose.” It derives from Latin Rosa, ultimately linked to Greek rhódon and older Iranian roots, and entered Hungarian through medieval Christian Europe. As a given name it has been used since at least the early modern period and also appears as a surname. Notable bearers include the pioneering mathematician Rózsa Péter (1905–1977). Catholic symbolism - especially the “Mystical Rose” epithet of the Virgin Mary - helped sustain its popularity in Hungary through the 19th and 20th centuries.

Variants and close cognates include Róza (Hu.), Rosa (It./Sp.), Rose (En.), Roza (Slavic), Róża (Pl.), and Ruža (South Slavic), with related Hungarian Rozália (Rosalia). Common Hungarian diminutives are Rózsi and Rózsika. The name connotes love, beauty, and devotion, and its timeless floral imagery gives it a classic yet distinctly Magyar character.
