Rosalynn is a spelling of Rosalyn and Rosalind, a name the Normans brought to England from the Germanic hros and lind, "gentle horse", which was later reinterpreted through the Latin rosa linda as "pretty rose". Shakespeare's heroine in As You Like It and First Lady Rosalynn Carter, who died in 2023, are its best-known bearers. Rosalynn peaked at number 1298 in the United States in 2020 and ranks at number 1621 in 2025.
