The surname DELROSA has its origins in Italy, dating back to the late 15th century. It is believed to have originated in the region of Tuscany, specifically in the city of Florence. The name is derived from the Italian phrase "della rosa," which translates to "of the rose." This suggests that the name may have been given to someone who lived near a rosebush or was associated with rose cultivation.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname DELROSA can be found in the archives of the Basilica di Santa Croce in Florence, where a certain Giovanni Delrosa is mentioned as a donor in the year 1497.

In the 16th century, the name DELROSA began to spread beyond Tuscany, with records showing individuals bearing this surname in other regions of Italy, such as Emilia-Romagna and Lazio. The name also underwent slight variations in spelling, such as "Della Rosa" and "De La Rosa," reflecting regional linguistic differences.

One notable individual from this period was Emilio Delrosa (1817-1888), a Spanish-born explorer and naturalist who traveled extensively in South America, documenting its flora and fauna.
