Rozanne vs Rozetta

Babies given each name, 1880–2025

Rozanne Rozetta

Each line is every baby given the name that year, girls and boys added together — the only count that means the same thing for both names. A line breaks where the name fell below five babies in a year — the point at which the SSA stops publishing it — rather than being drawn through a figure nobody published. A single published year in a gap shows as a dot.

Who was ahead

Of the 73 years in which either name was published, Rozanne for 54 years and Rozetta for 19 years. The lead changed hands 13 times.

• 1910–1932 Rozetta ahead, apart from 3 short spells
• 1933–1992 Rozanne ahead, apart from one short spell

8 shorter spells of a year or two are folded into the spans above rather than listed separately.

Side by side

A rank is a position within one sex’s list for one year, so the two rank rows are not subtracted from one another and the winning column is not marked on them. The living figure is a life-table estimate, not a count.

Which name is older

Half of the Rozannes alive today are over 71; half the Rozettas are over 67. That is 4 years between them: two names in use at the same time, worn by two different generations.
