Etymology
* From Middle English Rosamunde, a female given name ultimately from Proto-Germanic *hrussą (“horse”) + *mundō (“protection”), but by medieval folk etymology interpreted as Latin rosa munda (“pure rose”) and therefore as an epithet of the Virgin Mary. * An artificial name or name adopted by the husband of a woman with the Yiddish name רויזע (royze); see Rose. * An Americanized form of German Rosemann or Rosmann; see Rossmann. * An Americanized form of Czech, Hungarian, Serbo-Croatian, Slovak, and Slovene Rozman, Rožman, or Rozmán.
