Where Rossie is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Rossie is most over-represented in Georgia: since 1910 it was given 3.0 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Rossie with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
How common is the spelling Rossie?
Rossie is a less common spelling of Rosie: SSA has recorded 2,586 Rossie and 86,026 Rosie since 1880.

Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026.
