Meaning & origin
Roza is a cross-cultural floral name with Slavic, Hungarian, and Scandinavian roots, meaning 'rose.' First recorded in U.S. data in 1916, it has remained in steady but modest use, peaking in 2019. In 2025, the name ranked 5,917 nationally, given to about 1 in 80,363 newborn girls. Its stability suggests a quiet, enduring appeal rather than a sudden trend. Roza offers an international alternative to the more common Rosa or Rose, appealing to families seeking a name with clear pronunciation and a natural, unpretentious feel.
Roza is a direct borrowing from various Slavic languages (e.g., Polish, Czech, Russian) where it means 'rose,' ultimately derived from Latin rosa via Germanic. It is also used in Hungarian and Scandinavian languages. The name has been in consistent use across Eastern and Central Europe for centuries, often as a vernacular form of Rosa.
