Rosina

Rosina is an Italian diminutive of Rosa, which derives from the Latin rosa, meaning rose, the flowering plant long associated with beauty and love. The name has been used across Italy and other Romance-language cultures as an affectionate, softened form of Rosa. It gained wider recognition through opera, most notably as the name of the heroine in Gioachino Rossini's The Barber of Seville. Related forms include Rosine in French and Röschen in German.
