Not Rosalie or Rosalind. Here are some ancient/medieval Rose names I just discovered!

Rohese

Rose was originally a variant of Rohese, which is the Norman French form of Hrodohaidis. It was revived in the 19th century, inspired by the flower (which has an unrelated origin)

Rohesia

Latinised form of Rohese

Royse

Medieval English variant of Rose. Royce was originally a surname derived from this name!

Roese

Variant of Rohese. In Old English these two variants were used. They were introduced to England by Normans.

Hrodohaidis

An Old Germanic name meaning “famous type”. Mother of the Roses!

Rothaid

Variant of Hrodohaidis

Hrodheid

Variant of Hrodohaidis
