Roch is Germanic in Origin.
Roch is the French and Polish form of a medieval given name from Latinized Rochus, probably from Old High German hruoh/hrok meaning "rest, repose," though the etymology is debated. The name gained continental fame via the 14th century St. Roch of Montpellier, a pilgrim and healer invoked against plague; his widespread cult spread the name across Catholic Europe. Usage persists in Francophone regions, Poland, and especially in Quebec; English-speaking areas more often prefer the Italian Rocco.
Variants include Rocco (Italian), Roque (Spanish and Portuguese), Rochus (Latin/German), Rok (Slovene, Croatian), and Roch (Polish). Diminutives and related forms are Rocky and Roc; feminine forms are rare but include Rocca and Roquita regionally. The name is sometimes associated with the word "rock" in English and French (roche), lending a modern sturdy feel, but its traditional meaning aligns with "rest, repose; relief." Name days commonly fall on 16 August.
