Earlier this month, Pippa Middleton gave birth to baby number three in the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s hospital, in London, People reported. Now, Kate Middleton’s younger sister and James Matthews have named their newborn daughter Rose, according to the Daily Mail. What do the names of their children mean?
Although it has not been confirmed by the couple, Rose is believed to be their new daughter’s first name.
The name Rose is derived from the Latin “rosa”, which refers to the flower, “also referring to the timeless and romantic bloom,” the baby name site NameBerry stated.
NameBerry explained Rose, “one of the old-time sweet-smelling flower names”, has had a remarkable revival, especially as a middle name, “with many parents finding Rose to be the perfect connective”.
Pippa and James may call Rose “Rosy” or “Rosie”, which is “an irresistibly cheery nickname”.

Rose has been a popular girl’s name for centuries and is “the epitome of femininity” and “an irresistible pick for a little cherub,” according to NameBerry.
Baby site Verywellfamily explained that the name Rose was well-liked at the turn of the 20th century, but it dropped out of the top 20 by 1922.
Since then, “it continued to decline in popularity”, until 1997, when “the cheerful name then suddenly jumped almost 100 spots due to the massive popularity of the epic film Titanic, which came out in 1997”.
The movie starred Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack and Kate Winslet as Rose.
