Etymology

Rosario comes from the Spanish word for rosary, which in turn comes from Latin rosarium meaning 'rose garden' or 'garland of roses'. The city was named after this religious word, so Rosario brings to mind a 'rosary' or a circle of roses and reminds people of the place's religious and floral origins.
