Rosemay is of Latin origin, derived from the word 'rose' and the suffix '-may', meaning 'of roses'. It was popularized during the Victorian era when many floral names were in vogue. The name signifies beauty, grace, and elegance, much like the rose it's named after.
Rosemay was a popular name for babies born between 1917 and 1928, with a total of 16 girls named Rosemay during this period. The name's popularity seemed to fluctuate slightly over the years, as there were five births each in 1917 and 1927, but six births in the year between, 1928.
