Help[Facts] Re: Rosemary
in reply to a message by ari.
The Guinness Book of Names, by Leslie Dunkling, gives Rosemary as having come into general use in the UK from about 1898. Lily - another obviously floral name - came into general use in 1856, Ivy in 1868 and Iris in 1878. He mentions that as well as being a flower, Rosemary is also associated with 'remembrance'.
