The Story of Roseline
Roseline is a French variant of Rosalind or Roselyn, combining the Latin rosa (rose) with the Germanic lind meaning soft, tender, or serpent. The name thus combines two disparate origins into one mellifluous whole. Saint Roseline of Villeneuve (1263-1329) was a French mystic and nun who became patron saint of the Vâr region in Provence, cementing the name’s place in French Catholic tradition.
Roseline is particularly popular in French-speaking Africa, especially in countries like Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon, and DRC, where French colonial influence left a legacy of French names. It is also used in France and among Francophone communities worldwide.
Sainte Roseline (Saint Roseline) is venerated in Provence, France, where her incorrupt eyes are preserved in the Abbey of La-Celle-Roquebrune. She was known for her mystical experiences and acts of charity, and her feast day is January 17th.
