The Spanish surname Rosario is of local origin, being one of those surnames based on the place where original bearers of the name once lived or held land. In this case, the name was originally used to indicate that the bearer was "a native of Rosario." The name is derived from the Latin "rosarium," which literally means "a beautiful garden of roses." Thus, the town of Rosario was named due to its reputation for the beautiful flora that characterizes that area.
