The story
Published U.S. birth records include this spelling as early as 1979. This is the earliest published observation available here, rather than a date for the name’s origin. Rosalynda is a variant of Rosalind. The history of Rosalind gives this family its wider story. Edmund Spenser used Rosalind for a shepherdess, and Shakespeare gave it to the heroine of As You Like It. The appealing rose association is a later reinterpretation of an older Germanic name, rather than its original formation.
