Submitted Name Revision 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.
