According to the [Fullmetal Alchemist
Wiki](http://fma.wikia.com/wiki/Ros%C3%A9_Thomas), Rose, the character who
appears in the Lior arcs of FMA, has "Thomas" for a surname. While [the
Wikipedia entry on
her](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Fullmetal_Alchemist_characters#Ros.C3.A9)
simply refers to her as Rose, a quick Google search for `fma rose` yields
several results for her as "Rose Thomas".

However, I don't recall Rose ever being referred to as anything other than
"Rose" during the course of either Fullmetal Alchemist anime series or in the
manga. (It is of course possible that I don't remember the 2003 anime very
well, since I binge-watched it a year ago and might have missed some details.)
What's the origin of her supposed surname, and is this even something
"official" in any capacity?

Where are we shown Rose's surname?


**Rosé's surname is mentioned in the 2004 FMA game Fullmetal Alchemist: Stray
Rondo released by Bandai.**

This is clear from [_this video_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOvJrACETd4)
where the aforementioned game is played on an emulator.

If you go to 2:49 you can see Rosé introducing herself to the Elric brothers
as: Roze Tōmasu (in Japanese writing, katakana is used for writing non-
Japanese names, ロゼ・トーマス) which is then adapted to English as Rosé (not like
the flower rose) Thomas.

This surname appears neither in the manga nor in the anime. It is common
however for wikis to adopt such information from officially released games.
