Pronunciation of Rosanova in the US

In the US, Rosanova is primarily classified as a surname (last name). The American pronunciation, specifically in Chicago, Illinois, USA, is

roh zuh NOH vuh

"This two-word phrase, an ablative absolute in Classical Latin, may have been a sign of resistance to foreign influence in Southern Italy, since the symbol of the French Bourbon monarch was the white lily. A rosette could be worn openly on or secretly under a man's lapel, and might be a way for people of the same political opinions to identify each other. On the other hand, names relating to flowers, animals and other natural phenomena are common in Southern Italy, moreso than in the North. Names reflecting nature are not the only names common in the South, where many names derive from Greek rather than from Latin. All of Southern Italy was part of the ancient Greek Empire ("Magna Grecia") before the rise of the Roman Empire. The name Rosanova is most common in a small town, Celico, in the Province of Cosenza in the Region of Calabria, the toe of the Italian boot."

Type of Name: Last Name
