Rosyln is of English origin and has been used as a given name since the Middle Ages. It is derived from the Old English elements 'rōs' meaning 'rose' and 'lyn' which refers to a meadow or glade, thus translating to "rose meadow" or "rose glade". Throughout history, this name has been associated with beauty and nature due to its connection to roses. Rosyln was particularly popular during the Victorian era when many traditional English names were revived. In literature, it is known for being used by American author Edith Wharton in her novel "The Age of Innocence" published in 1920. Today, while not as widespread as some other names, Rosyln continues to be a unique and elegant choice for parents looking for a distinctive name with historical roots.
The name Rosyln has seen varied popularity over the years, with peaks in 1928, 1954, 1958, and 1963, each of those years having more than six births. However, it hasn't been a particularly common name overall, totaling only sixty births since 1921.
