History & Origin
Rozetta is a spelling variant of Rosetta, the Italian diminutive of Rosa, the rose - so it means 'little rose'. It appears in United States birth records in the early twentieth century, carried by Italian-American and Southern families fond of floral names. It reached its modest high around 1949 and was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.
A girl named Rozetta then would be a grandmother or great-grandmother today, and the name reads as a sweet, old-fashioned floral choice. With vintage flower names slowly returning, Rozetta is not yet among the revived, but its Rosa root keeps it appealing.
