Rosaria is a charming and elegant feminine given name of Italian origin, derived from the Latin word "rosarium," which means "rose garden." It signifies beauty, grace, and the essence of springtime freshness. This name has been popular in Italy for centuries, often bestowed upon girls born into families with strong ties to their cultural heritage. Rosaria is also found among communities that have Italian ancestry or who adhere to the Catholic faith, as it was commonly given during the Middle Ages in honor of the Virgin Mary. Today, Rosaria remains a beloved and distinctive choice for parents seeking a unique yet timeless name for their baby girl.
The name Rosaria experienced a peak in popularity between the years 1912 and 1923, with as many as 58 births recorded in 1923.
