Origin
Meaning and history of Rozay
The name Rozay is a relatively modern invention, likely created in the late 20th or early 21st century. It does not appear to have any direct linguistic or cultural origins, but seems to be a stylized or altered form of the more common name Rosie or Rose.
While the name Rose itself has deep roots tracing back to ancient Latin and Greek, with connections to the flower of the same name, the specific name Rozay does not seem to carry any such historical or etymological significance. It is probably a creative respelling or variation meant to give the name a more contemporary or unique flair.
There are no known historical references, ancient texts, or religious scriptures that mention the name Rozay specifically. Similarly, there do not appear to be any notable historical figures who bore this name prior to the modern era.
The earliest recorded instances of Rozay as a first name are likely from the late 20th century or early 2000s, but specific examples are difficult to find due to the relatively recent and uncommon nature of the name. Some of the few notable people with the first name Rozay include:
1. Rozay Maliah, an American model and social media influencer.
2. Rozay Hulet, an American football coach.
3. Rozay Williams, an American singer and musician.
4. Rozay Johnson, an American basketball player.
5. Rozay Dunbar, an American actress.
Given the lack of historical or linguistic roots, it is likely that Rozay was simply created as a stylized or unique variation of the more traditional names Rose or Rosie, perhaps inspired by the growing trend of creative name spellings and inventions in recent decades.

FAQ
Rozay: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Rozay?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 94 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Rozay 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 3,646,323 US residents.
Is Rozay a common name?
We classify Rozay as "Very Rare". It ranks above 63.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 95 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Rozay most popular?
The single biggest year for Rozay was 2022, when 14 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Rozay 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 Rozay in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Rozay a male name?
Yes, 58.9% of people registered as Rozay in the SSA data are male. 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 Rozay still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Rozay 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 Rozay 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.
