Meaning & History
German diminutive of Rosa 1 and other feminine names that start with Ros- (such as Rosalie), as it has the German diminutive suffix -chen. This diminutive, which is typically only used informally, is rather old-fashioned and is now rarely used.It should also be noted that Röschen is also a regular word in German: it literally means "little rose", as it is a diminutive of the German noun Rose meaning "rose".A known bearer of this name is the German politician Ursula von der Leyen (b. 1958), who has been known to her family as Röschen since childhood.
