About the name Rosalino
Wiktionary records Rosalino as a masculine name whose feminine is Rosalina. Behind the Name presents Rosalina as a Latinized form of Rosaline, from the Germanic roots hross, 'horse', and lind, 'soft'. The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil), on the other hand, treats the formative Rosa- as a remnant of Rosa, from the Latin rosae, 'rose', and lists Rozalino as a spelling variant of Rosalino. Because the two readings diverge, the meaning of Rosalino is not known for certain. Almost always male, it appears mainly among people born from the 1940s to the 1970s. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 4,101 people named Rosalino, with a median age of 60.
