Rosaline
About Rosaline
Rosaline, which can be pronounced to rhyme with mine or mean in its final syllable, has a deeper, richer pedigree than it might seem. Rosaline was used twice by Shakespeare and was also used in the poetry of Edmund Spenser. While we prefer the stronger-sounding Rosalind or Rosamund, Rosaline deserves another contemporary look.
Pronounced ROH-zuh-line; ROH-zuh-leen.
As of October 2026, Rosaline ranked #2192 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #763 in 1928, Nameberry popularity #922.
