About the name Rosenei

The origin of the spelling Rosenei is uncertain. The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) lists Roseney and Rozenei as spelling variants. In its morpheme list, Rose- is a formative taken from names such as Rosa and Rose (from Latin rosae, 'rose') and -nei is a formative of French origin, from French Ney, with some use in Brazil in names such as Valdinei; both elements exist, but the whole name has no recorded meaning of its own. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 1,556 people named Rosenei, with a median age of 49, and most of the records are female. Proportionally, it is most common in Paraná.
