Source(s): FreeCEN 1841 Census of Aberdeenshire
"Scottish Forenames" - Donald Whyte, FGH, FSG
Notes:

Italian diminutive of Rose/Rosa.

It occurs rarely but with significant frequency in the 1841 Census of Aberdeenshire.  This could be a traditional Scottish modification of the rare male forename Rose + ina.
