Rose is a given name and surname. The surname Rose can be of English, Scottish, French, and German origin. It was originally a Norman form of a German name Hrodheid, composed of the words Hrod (Bright/Flame) and Heid (Kind). It was originally spelled (by the Normans) Roese or Rohese. It fell out of use during the Middle Ages but was revived during the 19th Century although regarded as being a flower name. Because of the shift in meaning it is now regarded as a girl's name. The name of the flower has an independent etymology than the surname (Old English rōse from the Latin rosa; akin to Greek rhódon), thus there is a distinction between individuals named after the surname and those named after the flower. The name Ruskin (Rose + Kin) is derived from Rose.
