What Does the Name Roselie Mean?
Roselie is a feminine given name generally treated as a spelling variant of Rosalie, meaning 'rose.' The name goes back to Latin: rosa is 'rose,' and the related Rosalia was a Roman festival of roses. French Rosalie developed from that Latin name, and Roselie is an English respelling of the French form. The -elie ending is an alternative spelling of the -alie ending, not a separate element. The name is linked to the flower, not to a combination of the English words rose and lee ('meadow'), although the shared sound of rose makes that association understandable.
Roselie Name History & Origins
The Latin Rosalia was a festival at which roses were placed on graves, and the personal name Rosalia grew from the same root. In medieval France, the name became Rosalie. It is associated with Saint Rosalia, a 12th-century hermitess of Palermo; her traditional story is tied to the use of Rosalia and its variants in Sicily and elsewhere. French Rosalie later entered English, where it was respelled in forms such as Rosalee and Roselie. The -ie ending is a familiar English suffix, as in Maggie and Katie, but in Roselie it chiefly signals a variant spelling rather than a distinct diminutive. The name does not have a separate ancient origin; it belongs to the Rosalie family.
