Hi rosenksr,
In German the rosary is called "Rosenkranz" meaning a rose crown.
-What does the Rosenkranz name mean?
Dutch, German, and Scandinavian:
"From Middle Low German r?senkranz ?wreath?, ?rosary? (or a cognate in
a related language), hence a metonymic occupational name for a wreath
or rosary maker, or a habitational name for someone who lived at a
house distinguished by the sign of a wreath or in a place named with
this word.
Jewish (Ashkenazic):
Ornamental adoption of the Dutch and German name, or of the German
word Rosenkranz ?wreath?."
