Latin / French roots
Rosalie is a French form of the Latin Rosalia, connected to the annual Roman ceremony of placing roses on tombs (rosalia). Saint Rosalia of Palermo (c. 1130–1166) is the patron saint of Palermo, Sicily — her intercession is credited with ending a plague in 1624. The name has been used in France, Italy, and Germany for centuries. Twilight's Rosalie Hale, the beautiful vampire, gave the name 21st-century pop culture appeal. The name has been climbing the US charts as part of the vintage-French-name revival.
