Origin: British

Meaning: Of Rose; Beautiful, grace

Roseanna is a name with a modern spin and a feminine one of English origin. It is derived from the Latin forĀ rosa, meaning "rose," andĀ anna, meaning "grace" and "beautiful." Two famous songs immediately spring to mind, one by Toto called "Rosanna" and another by Chris de Burgh titled "For Rosanna." In the case of the latter, Chris penciled it for his newborn baby girl in 1984. Irishwoman Rosanna Davison would grow up to become an actress, singer, writer, model, and beauty queen who was crowned Miss World in 2003. With grace and beauty in abundance, your little one won't need a crown to become your Miss World.
