Rockey is English in Origin.
Rockey is a modern American respelling of Rocky, used as a given name and nickname. It traces to two streams: the Italian Rocco, from Old High German hrok/hruoh ‘rest, repose,’ known through the medieval pilgrim-saint Roch/Rocco; and the English noun rock, evoking stone and durability. It can also arise from surnames beginning with Rock- (Rockwell, Rockford) or as a pet form of Rocco.
Usage spread in the English-speaking world during the mid-20th century, with sharp recognition from heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano (born Rocco) and later the Rocky film franchise. The -ey form, Rockey, appears chiefly in U.S. records from the 1940s onward as a personalized variant and remains uncommon. Related forms and variants include Rocky, Rockie, Rocco, Roch (French), Roque (Spanish/Portuguese), Rok (Slovene), Roko (Croatian), and diminutive Rock. Meanings cluster around repose, steadfastness, and ‘rock/stone.’ Typically masculine, but occasionally unisex.
