Roswitha

It’s the name of the day. WDYT? Personally I love it; it’s probably my favorite Ros- name. The meaning “famous strength” is awesome, and it’s distinctive in a historical, not trendy, way, which adds to its beauty.

NOOOOO.I have a co-worker (kind of, she works in a different unit though) with this name and she's all I can think of. And she's...well, very special. I prefer Rosita or Rositha (I had a family member named this) but I don't really like any of them

It does have charm! I've only known one, and she's German: an excellent woman, which helps my opinion of the name. In a country where German isn't widely used, there could be major pronunciation issues, though.

Seems like a tongue twister.

It's a bit of a mouthful.

Yeah, I once had a nurse named Roswitha. She was from Germany I think.
I just wish the name had an established English version so people would say it correctly. Rosvita I guess. Although Roswitha looks prettier, it's also very "foreign" looking to me. And "roz-with-uh" is ugly.

Rosvita looks and sounds nicer than Roswitha to me.

I thought roz- with-uh was the correct English pronunciation.

Is it? I've never heard anyone saying that, but it makes sense that people would.

I love it! It's so mythic and regal.
