ArchivesRe: Need help with my name...
in reply to a message by Roshshonna
The first thing that jumped into my head, "She's named for Rosh Hashanah?". (If you don't know, that is the Jewish holy day of the new year and the name literally means 'head of the year' or 'first of the year'. The word rosh usually being translated as the word 'head'. You could check out this site for general info: http://www.jewfaq.org/holiday2.htm ) I guess it isn't a bad thing to be named for, but definately unusual and definately some miscommunication was going on if that is the case.
Also, maybe it could be a variation or combination name of the Jewish name Shoshana. You can check out this link to the archives for more about this name: http://www.behindthename.com/wwwboardarc/messages/26744.html

Good thinking, Anneza...
yeah, it does mean some sort of flower (a hot debate with biblical plant scholars, who are these people?) with the most modern interpretation as 'Rose'. Hence, Rose Rose. I don't know why that didn't occur to me before. It would sort of be like being named after a double rose! That's a lot better than being named after the holy new year.
