What is the origin of Rose?

br/>
Rose has its origins in the Latin language, and it is used largely in English and French. The name evolved as a short form of compound Germanic names, introduced to England by the Normans in the 11th century in forms such as Rohese (Medieval) and Roese (Medievel). It was later associated with the Latin rosa ('rose') in the Middle Ages, when it was often found in the form Rohesia (Latinized). The name was thus popular among medieval Christians due to the association of the flower with the Virgin Mary. The flower is also a symbol of many other things, including love and Britain, thereby ensuring the long-lasting popularity of Rose as a given name. In the 19th century, it enjoyed a renewed boost in popularity due to the vogue of using flower names as given names then. The name was borne by Saint Rose of Lima (1586-1617), the first saint in America. As a royal name, it was borne by the sister of Henry VIII, Mary Tudor (1496-1533), known also as 'Mary Rose', and Princess Margaret Rose (1930-2002), Countess of Snowdon. The name is sometimes used as a short form of Rosemary meaning and origin; as for other names starting with 'Ros-', such as Rosalind and Rosamund, it is rarely used as a short form due to the difference in pronunciation.
