Rosamund

Comments (Meaning / History Only)

I believe that the meaning of this name is still in dispute:Along with the BTN meanings, Rosamund could mean "rosy mouth" denoting beauty; Rosamond could mean "rosy/pink moon" meaning "harvest moon" It's also said that it hints at the Latin phrase "Rosa Mundi" or "rose of the world".

I always thought the meaning was 'rose of the world', from Latin rosa (rose) and mundus (world). In Jane Eyre, the character Rosamund is described as "deserving of her name... 'rose of the world'".
