Rozwita
Fewer than 500 Polish women carry it, and not one girl has been given the name in over two decades of records: most Poles have never met a Rozwita. The name is Germanic, built from roots that together mean "strong fame".
Rozwita Pronunciation
Rozwita is pronounced roz-VEE-tah (/rɔzˈvita/).
What Rozwita means
Where Rozwita comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Rozwita is built from two Germanic elements. The first, hrod, means fame or glory; the second, swind, means strong. Together they give the short meaning this name carries: strong fame, or in Polish sławna i silna. The variant Roswita sits closer to that older spelling.
The name has a real bearer worth knowing. Roswitha of Gandersheim, a canoness in tenth-century Saxony, wrote Latin plays, poems and legends, and in one preface she called herself the strong voice of Gandersheim, a pun on her own name. Her manuscript surfaced only centuries later, which is why she reads today as a rediscovery rather than a fixture.
In a Polish class register, Rozwita stands out now as rare. Few children receive it. Yet the meaning stays legible: strength joined to renown, the short sense we still translate as strong fame, sławna i silna.
When Rozwita celebrates name day
Rozwita appears 1 time in the Polish name day calendar, never as a main name. The first of these dates is 5 September.
