ArchivesRöslein
Is this a given name or just a German word? Just curious.

This site states, that in German, Roslein is a diminutive of Rose:

Actually, the given name Roslein (without Umlaut) is not so rare in the USA:

It is not used as a given name. Rare nickname only.

I have never heard of Röslein as a given name. It might work as a family nn for Rose/Rosa.
In death announcements I have come across Röschen (and Mariechen). But the usage of that diminutive was very rare.
