Arokya is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Arokya is a South Indian given name from Sanskrit arogya (a- “without” + roga “illness”), meaning health, soundness, and well-being. The word spread into Dravidian languages; in Tamil it appears as arokiyam, and in Telugu and Malayalam as arogyam, all conveying robust health. As a personal name it is unisex, slightly more common for boys, chosen to bestow an auspicious blessing of lifelong wellness.
Its use is especially visible in Tamil Christian communities through the Marian title Arokia Matha (“Our Lady of Health”) associated with the Velankanni shrine from the 16th–17th century, inspiring forms like Arockia Mary and Arockia Raj. Variants and spellings include Arogya, Arokiya, Arockia, and Aroghya; related compounds such as Arokia Doss also occur. The name retains a virtue-name appeal across India and the diaspora.
