Rosalie is of French origin and it means “rose”.
In the U.S, Rosalie has been in usage since the late 19th century. She was growing slowly in popularity until 1938 when she experienced a sudden jump, influenced by the release of Rosalie, a popular film founded on an earlier musical.
Starting the early 1940s, Rosalie fell off the charts. In 1989, she disappeared completely off the top 1000 list, then suddenly reappeared in 2009 after it was featured in the Twilight series.
Apparently, Rosalie appears to be picking up in interest as parents are starting to rediscover this hidden gem.
