Rosina

Girl name · 17 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Rosina: 17 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 1975.

Rosina is a charming diminutive of Rosa, derived from the Latin word for "rose," a name that has flourished across Italian, Spanish, and Scottish naming traditions as a delicate floral choice. Notable bearers include the Russian-born pianist Rosina Lhévinne, who taught a generation of concert artists at Juilliard, and Rosina Hubley, a Canadian actress known for her roles in film and television. The name also shines in opera as Rosina, the clever heroine of Rossini's *The Barber of Seville*, whose wit and independence have made her a beloved character. While no major places directly share the name, Rosina feels closely related to the ever-popular Rose and Rosalind, offering a slightly more ornate yet equally timeless alternative that has quietly appeared in Scottish birth records over the decades.
