Rosa
Thorny garden genus
Rosa is a feminine given name of Latin origin, meaning rose.
It appears across many cultures and languages, from Spanish-speaking countries to Italy to Eastern Europe.
The name enjoyed peak popularity in the early twentieth century but remains in steady use.
Rosa Parks, the American civil rights activist who refused to give up her bus seat in 1955, is perhaps the most famous bearer of the name.
My grandmother Rosa came to America from Sicily. (Lowercase rosa is the botanical genus for roses.)
