Rosaria

/roʊˈzɑːriə/ noun

Definition

A name or a variant form relating to 'rosary' (a string of beads used in prayer) or 'rose' (the flower); often a feminine given name in Italian and Spanish.

Etymology

From Latin 'rosarium' (rose garden) or 'rosaria' (collection of roses), derived from 'rosa' (rose), used as a name since medieval times in Christian cultures.

Kelly Says

Rosaria connects directly to the Rosary, a prayer ritual counting beads—'rosary' literally means 'rose garden' because praying was poetically compared to picking roses—and the name keeps this ancient metaphor alive in every person named Rosaria or Rosario.
