'''Rose''' is a female given name. It is a late [[Latin]] name derived from ''rosa'', meaning "rose". Variants are [[Rosa (given name)|Rosa]], [[Rosario (given name)|Rosario]], [[Rosie (given name)|Rosie]], [[Rosalba]], [[Rosalie (given name)|Rosalie]], [[Rosalia (given name)|Rosalia]], [[Rosina (given name)|Rosina]], [[Rosaria (given name)|Rosaria]], [[Rosalyn]] and [[Rosalina (disambiguation)|Rosalina]]. Similar names are [[Rosanna (given name)|Rosanna]] and [[Rosamunde]]. It may be a short form of [[Rosemary (given name)|Rosemary]], [[Roseanne (name)|Roseanne]] and [[Rosemond]].
==History== Rose was originally a [[Norman language|Norman]] form of a German name Hrodheid, composed of the words Hrod ("fame") and Heid ("kind", "type"). It was originally spelled (by the Normans) Roese or Rohese.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://behindthename.com/name/rose|title = Meaning, origin and history of the name Rose}}</ref> It was used in England, Italy, and France throughout the Middle Ages,<ref>{{Cite web|last=Campbell|first=Mike|title=Meaning, origin and history of the name Rose|url=https://www.behindthename.com/name/rose|access-date=2021-09-08|website=Behind the Name}}</ref> and its popularity increased during the 19th century while still regarded as being a [[Rose|flower name]]. The name of the flower has the etymology of Old English rōse from the Latin rosa; phonetically linked to the Greek rhódon, which is independent of the etymology of the [[Rose (surname)|surname Rose]]. Distinctions can sometimes be made between individuals who derive this given name after the surname and those who are named after the flower.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dictionary.com/browse/rose|title=the definition of rose|website=dictionary.com}}</ref>
