Meaning & origin

Roselie is a delicate floral name that has quietly risen in use since 2008. Although first recorded in 1910, it remained extremely rare for most of the 20th century. As of 2025, it reached its peak rank of 4661, with about 1 in 55,423 newborn girls receiving the name. The name is most popular in California, reflecting a broader trend of modern, nature-inspired names on the West Coast. Its steady ascent suggests a growing appreciation for its soft, feminine sound, blending the timeless appeal of Rose with a contemporary twist.

Roselie is a modern coinage, blending the popular floral name Rose with the suffix -lie (also seen in names like Rosalie). It may also be a simplified spelling of Rosalie, which itself derives from the Latin 'rosa' (rose) combined with the diminutive -lie. The name has seen occasional use in the United States since the early 20th century but remained rare until a recent uptick in popularity.
