Origin and meaning of Rocco
Rocco comes from the Germanic hrok, 'rest, repose', or from the root hrod, 'glory'. It is a men's name with a strong, decisive sound, very Italian in feel. Its huge spread is due to Saint Roch, invoked against the plague and deeply venerated in the South and in many European communities. In Italy it stays traditional and beloved, especially in the South; as Roch and Roque it appears in France and the Spanish-speaking world.
