Roseli

Roseli is a Brazilian Portuguese feminine given name, most likely a contracted or blended form combining Rosa, ultimately from Latin rosa meaning rose, with the diminutive or hypocoristic suffix common in Brazilian naming traditions. It may also be understood as a shortened variant of Roselinda or similar compound names built on the rose element. The name is predominantly found in Brazil, where such clipped and blended forms of floral names became popular during the twentieth century. Related forms include Roselia, Roselina, and the broader family of Rosa-derived names such as Rosana and Rosilda.
