Rosamond, derived from the Old French 'Roza' meaning 'rose', and 'mond' meaning 'protection'. It was introduced into England by the Normans after the 11th century conquest, and has been in use ever since. Once quite popular in medieval times, it fell out of favor during the late Middle Ages but regained some popularity in the 20th century. Today, Rosamond remains a rare yet timeless choice for parents seeking an elegant and distinctive name for their daughter.
In 1927 alone, there were six babies named Rosamond born.
