Rosie-Mae

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Rosie-Mae: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2021.

Rosie-Mae is a modern, double-barrelled name blending two beloved classics. Rosie is the enduring Scottish and English diminutive of Rose, which derives from the Latin *rosa*, meaning the flower, a symbol of love and beauty since ancient times. Mae is a variant of May, from the Roman goddess Maia, associated with spring and growth. Famous bearers include Rosie-Mae Souness, the Scottish model and television personality, bringing a contemporary glamour to the name. While no major places are directly named after it, the floral connection links to countless towns named Rose or Roses worldwide. This charming compound has become notably popular in Scotland since the 2000s, reflecting a trend for hyphenated names that honour both sides of a family.
