Girl name · #3249 in 2025 · Uniqueness 75/100
Rosetta ranks #3249 among American girls' names as of 2025, with 48 newborns given the name that year. A decade ago it stood at #3842, so the name has been rising over the past ten years. Roughly one in every 37,500 girls born in 2025 was named Rosetta.
The 145-year story
Rosetta first appears in the Social Security records in 1880, when 46 girls received the name. Its peak came in 1948, when 578 girls were named Rosetta — good for #325 that year. Today's parents encounter it as a name from their grandparents’ generation, which is precisely the vintage window from which names get revived. Following the curve matters more than today's snapshot: a name's position on its rise-peak-decline arc is the best predictor of how common it will feel in a kindergarten class five years from now.
