About Rosalie
French in origin, Rosalie carries the floral essence of a rose garden. Stemming from the Latin word for rose, it gained popularity in the English-speaking world after the release of the 1938 film "Rosalie," based on a musical.
During its peak in 1938, Rosalie's popularity waned until it fell off the U.S. Top 1000 in the 1980s. However, it experienced a resurgence in 2009 with the release of the "Twilight" series, featuring a character named Rosalie. This sympathetic and relatively minor character has contributed to Rosalie's renewed popularity as a baby name.
