Rosalind Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A female name. Old German Roslindis, compound of hros or ros ‘horse’ and lindi ‘serpent’. The name was carried to Spain by the Goths and took root there as Rosalinda. The modern use of it in England is probably owing to Shakespeare’s Rosalind in As You Like It. Thackeray uses it in The Newcomes (1854) and Trollope in The American Senator (1877).
ROSALINDA (now rare), ROSALINE or, rarely, ROSELINE. Either ‘like a rose’, or simply Rosa (or Rose)+ linda, as in Melinda (q. v.) or as Spanish linda, ‘(a) fair (woman)’; or else, if from Teutonic, ‘beautiful as a serpent’ or, better, ‘famed serpent.’ It is improbable that Shakespeare invented it, but the name appears first, so far as I know, in As You Like It, as Charlotte Yonge duly notes.
Teutonic (feminine) - Maiden like a rose.
A Latin name, meaning: Handsome rose: pretty as a rose.
