Ruby-Rose

Girl name · 25 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Ruby-Rose: 25 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 6 births in 2023.

Ruby-Rose is a modern compound name blending two gemstone and floral favourites. Ruby traces back through the Latin *ruber* meaning “red,” ultimately referring to the precious stone, while Rose derives from the Latin *rosa*, the fragrant flower. The most famous bearer is Australian actress and model Ruby Rose, known for her role in *Orange Is the New Black* and as Batwoman. The name also echoes place names such as Ruby Falls in Tennessee and the famous Rose Garden in Edinburgh’s Princes Street Gardens, though these connections are indirect. In Scotland, double-barrelled names like Ruby-Rose have become increasingly fashionable since the early 2000s, reflecting a trend for combining classic, evocative elements into a fresh, lyrical whole.
