What is the meaning of the name Roccos ?

The baby name Roccos is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈrɒkoʊz/ (ROK-ohz).

Roccos is Italian in Origin.

Roccos is a Hellenized form of Rocco, from Latin Rochus and ultimately Old High German hrok, "rest, repose." The -os ending matches Greek masculine patterns (Ρόκκος), and it is also spelled Rokkos or Rokos. Alongside its core meaning of rest, the name evokes protection and healing through its connection to Saint Roch. Modern speakers also hear a 'rock' resonance, lending a tough, upbeat vibe.

Veneration of Saint Roch in the late Middle Ages carried the name across the Mediterranean, especially in Italy and into Greek-speaking areas under Venetian influence. Today Roccos occurs in Greece and the diaspora, and also as a family name. Related forms include Rocco (Italian), Rokkos/Rokos (Greek), Roch (French), Roque (Spanish/Portuguese), and Rochus (Latin/German); diminutives and nicknames include Rocky and Rocco.
