    I do genealogy. I have a great great great great grandmother who is named “Rosine Concordie”. Other than that, I like classics like “Adelheid” or “Elfriede”

      TIL that “Rosine” had been a common name in Southern Germany until the end of the 19. century, when it started being used the way it is today (as the name for raisins).

      I also learned that the word for “raisin” before “Rosine” was “Zibebe”.

        Oh wow, now I learned something too, never heard that term before. I have two Rosine’s in my family tree, born 1793 and 1826, both in Saxony-Anhalt.
