It is a gender-neutral name, although predominantly given to girls, and has multiple meanings and interpretations. The meaning of Roslyn can be interpreted as "tender," "horse," or "pretty rose". The name is derived from Rosalind or Rosaline, which can be associated with the combination of the word 'Rose' and the suffix 'lin'. In this context, the "horse" component is derived from 'hros,' while the "gentle" or "soft" component is derived from 'lind'. Roslyn is also associated with Scottish and Gaelic origins, meaning "little red-head". The name gained popularity in the late 19th century in the US and is also popular in Australia, the Netherlands, and Great Britain. The name's pronunciation may vary depending on the region, with the most common pronunciation being 'Rahz-lin'. Some popular spelling variants of Roslyn include Rosalynn, Rozlyn, and Rozalyn. Nicknames like Ros (English) and Lina (Portuguese) are often used in combination with Roslyn. The name's popularity can be attributed to Rosslyn Castle (also called Roslin Castle), a 14th-century castle in Scotland, referring to the name of a village in Scotland. Roslyn is also the name of several habitats, villages, and towns in certain states of the US and New Zealand. The hit song Roslyn by the band Bon Iver in 2009 also contributed to the name's popularity.
