Rois

[woolly76]

Celtic name for a girl? (Pr Ro-is)

Sounds like Royce - boys name - to me... Sorry... Might be more appropriate where you live though...

Just think it'll be a 'how do you spell that' name for the rest of your DD's life

I think it might be misheard as Lois.

If it is the Irish for Rose, it's probably pronounced Ro-ish. NEver heard it as a name in its own right.

I have a Lois...it does sound similar

It looks as if the end of Roisin has been left off to me.

it looks to me like you made it up. Sorry.

sounds made up.

Agree with kreecher, looks like the diminutive of Roisin.

If you want to spell it correctly in Irish you will need a fada on the O and also to omit the I, leaving you with Rós, pronounced Rose, with more of an S sound than a Z sound.

Róisín would be the pet form of Rós, meaning '(sweet) little Rose'.

Róisín is spelled with the extra initial I because the slender -ín ending demands a slender vowel (i or e) before the consonant S. Rós on its own does not have that I.
