Rose

רוז

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Jew-ish
• Meaning: rose

• Rose has deep roots in Jewish immigrant history, where it served as the Americanized version of the Yiddish name Royze. Generations of Jewish women carried this name as they built new lives in the United States, making it one of the most beloved heirloom names in the community. Now it is experiencing a well-deserved revival, right alongside the broader trend of vintage botanical names making their way back into nurseries.

  Whether as a first name, middle name, or a loving nod to a Bubbe Royze, this classic works beautifully in every position. Scarlett Johansson chose it for her daughter, naming her after her own grandmother in a nod to her Polish-Jewish roots. Its one-syllable elegance bridges centuries of history with the current vintage-botanical moment — sweet, simple, and unmistakably Jewish.
