Rosalynn

Rosalynn is a feminine given name used in English-speaking countries. It is commonly viewed as a modern variant of Rosalind or as a blend of elements from Rose and Lynn, and it has several spellings such as Rosalyn, Roselyn, Rosaline, and Rosabella in related forms. The name carries familiar, rose-related connotations and a common feminine suffix.

The best-known bearer of the name is Rosalynn Carter (born 1927), an American former First Lady who represented her husband, President Jimmy Carter, from 1977 to 1981.

The Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving, named in her honor, conducts research and provides resources to support caregivers and improve caregiving practices.

In usage, Rosalynn remains relatively uncommon compared to more general names, and its spelling variations are more frequently encountered in English-speaking regions. The name is often linked to other Rosal- names such as Rosalind, Rosalyn, Roselyn, Rosaline, and Rose.
