 * Rose: Originally a Norman form of the Germanic name Hrodohaidis meaning "famous type", composed of the elements hrod "fame" and heid "kind, sort, type". The Normans introduced it to England in the forms Roese and Rohese. From an early date it was associated with the word for the fragrant flower rose (derived from Latin rosa). When the name was revived in the 19th century, it was probably with the flower in mind.
 * McLaughlin: A Scottish clan traced as far back as the 11th Century AD/CE. Mc/Mac meaning "Son of", lach/loch meaning "Lake" and lan meaning "Land". The name as a whole denotes "Child of the land of the lakes." Alternately; Lochlann was used to describe Scandanvian countries and those from the region, essentially referring to vikings at the time.

Originally from the southwest coast of Scotland, many McLaughlins from Scotland traveled into Ireland and the US, leading to mixed ancestry and usage of the name.
