Appearing throughout the time in the United States, the name Rosalie is a staple in the country: Girls have been given the name Rosalie for more than 140 years, according to official U.S. naming statistics. Rosalie is therefore one of only 432 girls’ names that have been given every year since 1880. Even beyond that, Rosalie is a very special name that peaked in popularity some time ago in the 20th century. Placed 66 Rosalie easily made it into the Top 100 of our SmartGenius stats for female first names and has never been more popular than back in 1938.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Rosalie was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As many as 1,682 babies were named Rosalie in the USA in 2022, ranking it #168 on the list of the most popular girls' names for that year.

Everyone knows her, everyone loves her and still she’s different from the mainstream: Rosalie occurs in every single state of the U.S. This may sound quite unspectacular at first, but in fact, of the more than 50,000 different female first names that occur in the USA, just 537 are recorded in each individual state, so the name Rosalie is definitely something very special. However, at the same time, since the name does not appear in the top 100 most common first names in any single state, Rosalie is not one of those names that one encounters in every neighbourhood, but stands out from the crowd, is noticeable and special without being strange or unknown. From Alaska to Florida, a total of 71,245 women and girls of all generations bear the name Rosalie – that is one in 2,164. However, there are considerable regional differences – the name is far more popular than average in New Mexico, where one in 1,139 women and girls is called Rosalie, while it is particularly rare in Hawaii, where you have to ask an average of 6,895 women for their name to get Rosalie as an answer once.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter R is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for girls' names: 4.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names are A and S, while X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.
With seven letters, the name Rosalie has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
Thus, it follows that if 4.1% of all girls' names start with an R, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: Rebecca is the girls’ name starting with R, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Rosalie and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
