What does the name Rozalin mean?

The name Rozalin is a Scandinavian variant of Rosalind. It means 'the famous gentle one' or 'the renowned delicate one'. Its derivation comes from the two Old High German expressions hruod for 'fame', 'honor', 'distinction' or 'praise' and lind for 'mild', 'soft', 'supple', 'delicate', 'gentle' or 'friendly'. Later, during Christianity, the name was reinterpreted in the Middle Ages in honor of Saint Mary as 'the delicate rose', 'the pure rose' or 'the beautiful rose'. This is in reference to the Latin terms rosa for 'rose' and linda/lindo for 'beautiful', 'pure' or 'delicate'. Furthermore, there exists, particularly in the Romance language area, a very controversial interpretation of the name that means 'horse and shield' or 'the supple horse'. In this case, it is derived from the Old High German name elements hros for 'the horse' or 'the steed' in connection with either linta for 'the lime tree' and 'the lime wood shield' or lind for 'mild', 'soft', 'supple', 'delicate', 'gentle' and 'friendly'. In general Kurdish and Turkish usage, the name means 'the sunrise'.
