Gentle horse or rose of the lake
Roslyn is a name with two primary etymological paths. It most likely derives from the Germanic elements 'hros' (horse) and 'lind' (soft, gentle), but it is also frequently associated with the Latin 'rosa' (rose) and the Scottish place name Rosslyn, meaning 'promontory of the lake'.
