Origin
Meaning and history of Rozalie
The name Rozalie originated from the Czech and Slovak languages. It is a variation of the name Rosalia, derived from the Late Latin name Rosalia, which was formed from the Latin word "rosa" meaning rose. Rozalie is believed to have emerged during the Middle Ages.
The name Rosalia was initially given to children born around the time of the Feast of St. Rosalia, which is celebrated on July 15th. St. Rosalia was a renowned Sicilian saint who lived in the 12th century and was known for her piety and asceticism.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Rozalie can be found in the 14th century Czech chronicle "Chronica Bohemorum" by Přibík Pulkava of Radenín. It mentions a Rozalie, the daughter of King Přemysl Otakar II of Bohemia, who lived in the late 13th century.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the name Rozalie. One of the most famous was Rozalie Lubomirska (1768-1794), a Polish noblewoman who was renowned for her beauty and intellect. She was a prominent figure in the literary salons of Warsaw during the Polish Enlightenment.
Another notable Rozalie was Rozalie Weil (1818-1904), a German-Jewish philanthropist who founded several charitable institutions in Berlin, including a hospital and a school for girls.
In the arts, Rozalie Menzel (1823-1894) was a German actress and opera singer who performed in several prominent theaters in Berlin and Vienna during the 19th century.
Rozalie Celnikier-Metadier (1834-1922) was a French feminist activist and writer who fought for women's rights and education. She founded several organizations and publications dedicated to promoting gender equality.
Lastly, Rozalie Brosovsky (1891-1971) was a Czech-American artist known for her paintings depicting scenes of everyday life in the American Southwest.

FAQ
Rozalie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Rozalie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 66 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Rozalie going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 5,193,248 US residents.
Is Rozalie a common name?
We classify Rozalie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 58.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 66 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Rozalie most popular?
The single biggest year for Rozalie was 2022, when 10 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Rozalie is about 8 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Rozalie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Rozalie a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Rozalie in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Rozalie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Rozalie in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Rozalie can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
