IS a bloom word: directly the English flower name, from Latin 'rosa' (the rose). Also used historically as a short form of Germanic names with the element 'hrod' (fame), but the enduring modern sense is the flower itself.
Natalie comes from the Latin natale domini, “birthday of the Lord,” and was traditionally given to girls born at Christmas. Its Russian form is Natalia.
Natalie is more popular than Rose today: about 2,736 US babies were given the name Natalie in 2025, compared with 2,386 named Rose.
Rose means Rose (latin origin), while Natalie means Christmas Day; birth (Latin origin).
In US records, Rose first appears in 1880 and Natalie in 1880, so Rose has the longer recorded history.
