Meaning & origin

Rosabelle is a floral compound name that saw its greatest popularity in the early 20th century, peaking in 1907. After a long decline, it was used only rarely until recently. Since 2019 its trajectory has been falling, but it retains a vintage charm. In 2025, the name ranked 4,758th, with a 1-in-57,402 incidence. Its top state is California, suggesting some regional preference. The name fits a modern trend for antique, flower-inspired names, though it remains uncommon.

Rosabelle is a compound of the English word 'rose', derived from Latin 'rosa', and the French suffix '-belle' meaning 'beautiful'. It emerged in the 19th century as part of the Victorian fashion for elaborate floral and virtue names. The name was popular in the United States in the early 1900s, peaking in 1907.
