Rosalind

Classic English name

Rosalind is a feminine given name, literary and slightly old-fashioned.

It appears most famously as the heroine of Shakespeare's *As You Like It*, where Rosalind disguises herself as a young man in the Forest of Arden.

The name also belongs to a small moon of Uranus, discovered in 1986.
