Roseanne

Girl name · 147 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Roseanne: 147 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 14 births in 1979.

Roseanne is a modern compound name, blending Rose (from Latin rosa, the flower) and Anne (from Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace'), so together it suggests 'graceful rose'. It rose to fame in the late 20th century largely thanks to American comedian and actress Roseanne Barr, whose groundbreaking sitcom *Roseanne* ran from 1988 to 1997. A less well-known but notable bearer is Roseanne Park, better known as Rosé of the K-pop group Blackpink. While no major place is named directly after a Roseanne, the separate root of Anne appears in many Scottish place names, such as St Ann's. Notable variants include Rosanna and Rosanne, with the single-n spelling particularly common in Scotland. The name enjoyed a surge in popularity after Barr's show but remains a distinctive choice for parents who like floral classics with a touch of modern television history.
