Actually Rosalia is not generically Sicilian, but specific of the city of Palermo, where it is traditional and still quite common. It is rare in other areas of Italy.
Due to Saint Rosalia, this name is very common in Sicily. It's quite a beautiful name.
Rosalia is also the Slovak form. Name Day: 4th September.
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.
