History & Origin

Rosabel joins Latin rosa ('rose') to bella ('beautiful'), giving 'beautiful rose'. It belongs to a family of flowery English compounds — Rosabella, Rosabelle, Annabel — that flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries. Tender and old-fashioned, it is now rare (said 'ROH-zuh-bel').

It appears only very rarely for girls in the U.S. today. Vintage, floral, and romantic.

Did you know? Rosabel is a real Victorian-era compound — rosa, 'rose', plus bella, 'beautiful' — the sort of name that turned up in 19th-century poems and parlor songs and is now finding a fresh audience.
