Rosie is a feminine given name of English origin. It is a diminutive form of the English language given name Rose, which is of Latin origin. Similar diminutives in other languages include: Rosa becoming Rosita in Spanish, and Ruža becoming Ružica in Slavic languages. Rosie is a nickname for names such as Rosalie, Rosemary, Roseanne, Rosalyn, Rosanna, and more. It is occasionally a male nickname, primarily a short form of Roosevelt.

Historically, Rosie has been a reasonably popular given name for infants in England and Wales during the early 21st century, as it was in Victorian times. It continues to be popular in Scotland, as well. However, it has been rare as a given name for newborns in the United States since the 1980s. Rosaleen is also an Irish name, Rós Ailínn, meaning beautiful rose.
