MEANING & HISTORY

What does Rosario Ninfa mean?

Rosario is documented from the Spanish Marian title Nuestra Señora del Rosario, Our Lady of the Rosary. The name tradition is established independently of a current bearer’s gender, devotion or family intention.

Ninfa is a documented Spanish and Italian Nympha form. Nympha is the usual Latinized Nymphe spelling, with Greek bride and nymph senses. The mythological association is lexical history, not a claim that the bearer has supernatural characteristics.
