Rosalie is a French elaboration of Rosa, “rose.”
From the Latin 'regina', meaning 'queen' (feminine of 'rex'). Long used as a title of the Virgin Mary (Regina Caeli, 'Queen of Heaven'). A literal, well-established 'queen' name.
Rosalie is more popular than Regina today: about 1,797 US babies were given the name Rosalie in 2025, compared with 786 named Regina.
Rosalie means Rose (Latin origin), while Regina means queen (latin origin).
In US records, Rosalie first appears in 1880 and Regina in 1880, so Rosalie has the longer recorded history.
