What does the name Rozalina mean?

The feminine name Rozalina is a Bulgarian and Russian form of the name Rosalind. It means 'the glorious gentle one' or 'the famous delicate one.' The derivation comes from the two Old High German expressions hruod for 'glory,' 'honor,' 'distinction,' or 'praise' and lind for 'mild,' 'soft,' 'supple,' 'delicate,' 'gentle,' or 'friendly.' Later, during Christianity, the name Rozalina 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, which 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.' Other variants include Rosalinde, Rosalinda, Roselinde, Rosalen, Rosalyn, Rosaline, Rosalina, Rosaleen, Rosalin, Rosalynn, and Rozalin. The English poet Edmund Spenser used Rosalind as an anagram of the name of his affair, Rosa Daniel. Later, the first name was used by Thomas Lodge for the main character in one of his novels. This was then adapted by Shakespeare in the 15th century in 'As You Like It.'
