People are often curious about the name we've given our daughter. Her name is Irish/Gaelic, and traditionally spelled Roisin. Jason really wasn't fond of the spelling, but we both loved the name... so we compromised with a phonetic spelling.... Below, is some brief info on the name Rosheen. Her middle name is Nuria. Many people have been asking us how it is pronounced. It is said noor-ee-ah. It comes from the Arabic word Noor/Nur, which means light. It's commonly a boy's name as Nur/Noor. Nuria/Nouria is also a Spanish name, meaning enlightened.
