Rossie

Rossie Origin and Meaning

The name Rossie is a girl's name.

Rossie is a feminine name with Scottish origins, traditionally used as a diminutive of Ross, which means 'headland' or 'promontory' in Scottish Gaelic. It can also be considered a nickname for names like Rosalind, Rosemary, or simply Rose. The name has a sweet, vintage quality typical of names ending with the diminutive '-ie' suffix. Rossie enjoyed modest popularity in the early 20th century, particularly in Scotland and parts of the United States, but has become less common in recent decades. This gives it a charming, nostalgic appeal for modern parents seeking vintage names. Rossie's connection to both geographical features and floral associations gives it a natural, earthy quality while maintaining femininity.
