Ada-Rose

Girl name · 4 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Ada-Rose: 4 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2020.

Ada-Rose combines two classic names with deep roots. Ada comes from the Germanic element *adal*, meaning "noble," while Rose derives from the Latin *rosa*, the flower long associated with love and beauty. Together, they form a graceful, modern compound name. The most famous Ada is Ada Lovelace, the 19th-century mathematician considered the world’s first computer programmer. Rose, meanwhile, appears in many cultures, from the Tudor Rose emblem to the beloved character Rose in *Titanic*. While no major place bears the exact compound, the rose features prominently in Scottish heraldry and folklore, notably the wild dog rose. Ada-Rose has grown in popularity across Scotland as parents embrace double-barrelled names that honour family traditions while feeling fresh and poetic.
