MEANING & HISTORY
What does Rosemarie mean?
Rosemarie is a compound of Rose and Marie. Rose supplies the flower name, while Marie is the French form in the Mary and Miriam family.
The deeper meaning of Miriam is debated, so the compound should not be assigned a fabricated ancient sentence. Rosemarie is also distinct in formation from the herb word rosemary, despite the nearly identical spelling and occasional association.
