What is the meaning of my name?
Ahhh, you have my name. I was just looking up the meaning and this was one of the google search results... how strange. Well different websites say different things, some say that it originates from America and some say Spain. A lot of the websites give the meaning of Rosalind, and state that Rosalyn is a related name. The general idea is rose, be it little, pretty or sweet. Some sources are slightly strange and say 'tender horse' or 'serpent horse'.
