The story of Rosabelle
Compound flower names came into English use in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when Rosabel, Rosalie, Rosanna and Rosabelle were all made from the same first syllable. The -belle ending arrived from French and was applied freely: Annabelle, Claribel, Christabel and Rosabelle are all built on the same principle. American families used them heavily around the turn of the twentieth century, and the whole set went quiet after the First World War. Rose names have been returning steadily for two decades; the compounds are the last part of the family to come back.
Meaning
