Roslin
Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Roslin: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2010.
Though often linked to the biblical name Rosalind or the flower rose, Roslin most directly derives from the Scottish place-name Roslin, meaning "red pool" (from Gaelic *ros* and *linne*). This tiny Midlothian village is world-famous for the Rosslyn Chapel, whose intricate carings have inspired centuries of legend, including a starring role in Dan Brown's *The Da Vinci Code*. The name is also tied to the Roslin Institute, the research centre where Dolly the sheep was famously cloned in 1996. While not historically common as a given name, Roslin has a soft, melodic quality that feels both ancient and modern, and it shares its root with the more familiar Rosalyn.
