Meaning & History：

Combination of ROSA (1) and ANGELA.

ROSA (1) female Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Dutch, German, English

Generally this can be considered a Latin form of ROSE, though originally it may have come from the Germanic name ROZA (2). This was the name of a 13th-century saint from Viterbo in Italy. In the English-speaking world it was first used in the 19th century. A famous bearer was civil rights activist Rosa Parks (1913-2005).

ROSE female English, French

Originally a Norman form of a Germanic name, which was composed of the elements hrod "fame" and heid "kind, sort, type". The Normans introduced it to England in the forms Roese and Rohese. From an early date it was associated with the word for the fragrant flower rose (derived from Latin rosa). When the name was revived in the 19th century, it was probably with the flower in mind.

ROZA (2) female Ancient Germanic

Old Germanic short form of feminine names beginning with the element hrod meaning "fame".

ANGELA female English, Italian, German, Dutch, Romanian, Slovene, Slovak, Russian, Macedonian, Late Roman

Feminine form of Angelus (see ANGEL). As an English name, it came into use in the 18th century.

ANGEL male & female English, Bulgarian, Macedonian

From the medieval Latin masculine name Angelus which was derived from the name of the heavenly creature (itself derived from the Greek word αγγελος (angelos) meaning "messenger"). It has never been very common in the English-speaking world, where it is sometimes used as a feminine name in modern times.
