History
Rose was originally a Norman form of a German name Hrodheid, composed of the words Hrod ("fame") and Heid ("kind", "type"). It was originally spelled (by the Normans) Roese or Rohese.
[1] It was used in England, Italy, and France throughout the Middle Ages,
[2] and its popularity increased during the 19th century while still regarded as being a
flower name . The name of the flower has the etymology of Old English rōse from the Latin rosa; phonetically linked to the Greek rhódon, which is independent of the etymology of the
surname Rose . Distinctions can sometimes be made between individuals who derive this given name after the surname and those who are named after the flower.
[3]
A bridal rose is said to signify happy love in the
language of flowers .
