The name Rosary, derived from Latin 'rosarium', meaning 'garland of roses', is a unique and symbolic choice for a child's first name. It has its roots in the Catholic tradition, where a rosary is a string of prayer beads used to keep track of various prayers during devotional meditation. The name itself brings an aura of devotion, grace, and serenity. Rosary is not a common given name, making it distinctive and memorable. Its rarity can also allow for its bearer to stand out and be easily recognized.
The name Rosary appears to have experienced varied popularity over the years, with periods of relative prominence followed by stretches of minimal usage. The highest number of births recorded in a single year was 18, which occurred twice (in 1946 and 1948). Conversely, there were numerous years with only 5 or fewer births, suggesting that Rosary was not widely chosen as a baby name during those times. Overall, however, the name has been used consistently over time, with a total of 569 recorded births since 1917.
