What does the Irish name Rosaleen mean, which was popularized by Rosaline from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet?
Rosaleen Rosaleen is an Irish female first name. It is an Anglicized version of the Irish name Róisín, the diminutive of "rose" in the Irish language; it therefore means "little rose". It has use in Ireland since the 16th century, possibly popularised by Rosaline in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Ronald Ronald ( ) is a masculine given name derived from the Old Norse "Rögnvaldr". In some cases "Ronald" is an Anglicised form of the Gaelic "Raghnall", a name likewise derived from "Rögnvaldr". The latter name is composed of the Old Norse elements "regin" ("advice", "decision") and "valdr" ("ruler"). "Ronald" was originally used in England and Scotland, where Scandinavian influences were once substantial, although now the name is common throughout the English-speaking world. A short form of "Ronald" is "Ron". Pet forms of "Ronald" include "Roni", and "Ronnie". A feminine form of "Ronald" is "Ronalda". "Rhona", a modern name apparently only dating back to the late nineteenth century, may have originated as a feminine form of "Ronald". The names "Renaud"/"Renault" and "Reynold"/"Reinhold" are cognates from French and German, respectively.
