About Rosalia
Elegant and bright with plenty of flair, Rosalia is widely-used in Spain and Italy, where there is a Sicilian Saint Rosalia. The name Rosalia refers back to the annual Roman ceremony of hanging garlands of roses on tombs, which could make it work as a commemorative name, though today it would most likely be used in honor of the uni-named Spanish pop star Rosalía.
Derived from rosa, the floral inspired name entered the US Top 1000 in 2020, and has climbed substantially since, in step with Rosalia's fame. Given to nearly 600 babies in 2024, it is five times more popular than it was a decade ago. The short form can be either Rosie or Lia.
Pronounced ro-SAH-lee-uh.
As of October 2026, Rosalia ranked #609 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #576 in 1881, Nameberry popularity #788.
