Pronunciation
Ro-sha
Meaning
Rose
Fun fact
Róise is related to Róisín, but instead of the een ending you have Ro-sha. I've been noticing this shorter form among baby names too. So if you love the rose meaning, this is another option.

Figures for the spelling Róise, Republic of Ireland.
The CSO only publishes names given to three or more babies in a year. “Less than 3” means zero, one or two babies, and these years appear as gaps on the graph.

From 2018, spellings with and without fadas are counted separately. Earlier figures group these spellings together, so the graph has a break at 2018.
