The word "Roszanna" is an uncommon variant of the name "Rosanna". It is spelled with a "sz" instead of the more typical "ss" because it is derived from the Polish language where "sz" represents the sound of "sh". In IPA phonetic transcription, "Roszanna" would be written as /ˈrɒʃænə/, with the "sz" sound represented by the symbol "ʃ". Apart from the difference in spelling, the pronunciation and meaning of the name remains the same.
