Rosie is a feminine given name of British origin. [cite web |url=http://www.babynames.com/name/ROSIE |title=Rosie |publisher=babynames.com |accessdate=2007-11-30] It is a diminutive form of the English language given name Rose, Latin origin. [cite web |url=http://babyfit.sparkpeople.com/baby-names-detail.asp?name=Rose |title=Rose |publisher=sparkpeople.com |accessdate=2007-11-30] It's a diminutive in other languages as well: "Rosa" becomes "Rosita" in Spanish, and "Ruza" becomes "Ruzitsa" in Slavic languages. Rosie is a nickname for variations of "Rose" such as "Rosalie", "Rosemarie", "Rosemary", "Roseanne", "Rosibel", "Rosalyn", and others.

Historically, Rosie has been a reasonably popular given name for infants in England and Wales during the early 21st century, [cite web |url=http://www.statistics.gov.uk/specials/babiesnames_girls.asp

However, it's been rare as a given name for newborns in the United States since the 1980s.
