What is the meaning of the name Rocio ?

The baby name Rocio is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced roh-SEE-oh (Spanish: /roˈsi.o/; Spain variant: /roˈθi.o/).

Rocio is Spanish in Origin.

Rocío is a Spanish feminine given name meaning “dew,” taken from the common noun rocío and ultimately from Latin ros, roris. In Iberian Catholic tradition, the Marian title Nuestra Señora del Rocío (“Our Lady of the Dew”) anchored the name, especially in Andalusia; the famed Romería del Rocío pilgrimage to Almonte, Huelva, sustained its visibility and devotion.

Used as a given name since early modern Spain, it rose sharply in the 20th century across Spain and much of Latin America. Variants include the unaccented Rocio (common in diasporic and English-language records), Rosio as an alternate spelling, and affectionate diminutives Chío and Roci. A masculine counterpart is uncommon. Notable bearers include singers Rocío Jurado and Rocío Dúrcal, Mexican actress-singer Rocío Banquells, and Argentine model Rocío Guirao Díaz. The name’s imagery evokes freshness, purity, and the renewing light of morning.
