About the name Roselene

Roselene has the beginning Rose-, which the Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) describes as a fragment of given names such as Rosa and Rose, from Latin rosae, 'rose', and the ending -lene, which the same Morfemário explains as probably coming from French -enne or taken from names such as Irene and Marlene. The two elements appear together in Rosilene, which the Morfemário cites among the Brazilian names with -lene. The meaning of Roselene as a whole is not known for certain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 14,204 people named Roselene, with a median age of 47. The name is almost always female and, proportionally, it is most common in Santa Catarina.
