Comments for ROSALIA:
In Spain also the name Rosalía is used, in honor of the patron saint of the Sicilian city of Palermo. From 1273 Sicily belonged to the crown of Aragón, and from ca. 1500 to 1713 it belonged to the Spanish monarchy of Austrias. For that reason the relationship with Spain always was very close. In addition, one of the most excellent poetesses of Hispanic Literature, born in Santiago de Compostela, has the name: Rosalía de Castro.

"Rosalia" could have a nameday on Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday (the Sunday before Easter) is the day of flowers and willows (the names of the other trees also have a nameday). The Bulgarian variant of "Rosalia" is "Rozaliya". "Rozaliya" has a nameday on Palm Sunday.-- iva_toneva 6/5/2006
Beautiful, underused name. I recently chose it as my Confirmation name. (Since my family is from the Palermo area)-- arrowhead909 11/10/2006
As you see, my username is Rosalia. That's my name, and I love it. I was named after my grandmother. Rosalia is a Sicilian saint that had a story. I'll tell you that story.
Before Rosalia was a saint, she was a princess in the 12th century of Palermo, Sicily of Italy. Rosalia was very much in love with God. At an age, she had an arranged marriage. She didn't want to marry the man, though. She told her parents that she would run away with God to a cave. Of natural causes, she died.
In the 17th-century, the plague went around. One day, a hunter had a vision of her. He found her, and then the plague stopped.
So that's the story of Santa Rosalia. I hoped you enjoyed it!-- Rosalia 12/30/2006

It is very fancy, but I like it, sounds so beautiful like a flower. This is my aunt's name, and I like it very much, way better than these modern names.-- mary26 7/19/2008

Due to Saint Rosalia, this name is very common in Sicily. It's quite a beautiful name.-- bananarama 8/10/2009
Such a lovely name.
I like it pronounced Roz-ALL-ee-ah not Roza-Lee-Uh.
Because I don't like the nicknames Rosa and Leah.
I really do love this name!-- italiannames 11/8/2009
