Meaning and background
The story behind Rosemarie
Rosemarie is recorded as a variant of Rosemary. The linked entry gives a combination of Rose and Mary and also allows a reference to the herb, whose Latin-derived name involves dew and the sea. These are two recorded explanations rather than one compulsory interpretation. An owner can preserve a family compound or a garden association when choosing Rosemarie, while keeping the route that actually inspired the choice clear.
