Rosemary is associated with the meaning “Dew of the sea; herb plant” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
Rosemary comes from the Latin word ros marinus, which literally translates to "dew of the sea." The name combines two Latin words: ros meaning dew and marinus meaning of the sea. Over time, the herb carrying this name became so familiar in English-speaking cultures that rosmarinus was shortened and reshaped into the familiar given name Rosemary.
