Rocki is English in Origin.

Rocki is a modern English given name, a streamlined respelling of Rocky. Rocky began as a pet form of the Italian name Rocco and also as a word-based nickname from “rock/rocky.” Rocco traces to Old High German hrok, commonly interpreted as “rest” or “repose,” and was borne by the medieval Saint Roch/Rocco, widely venerated during plague years; cognates include French Roch and Spanish/Portuguese Roque. The English word rock contributes an overlapping semantic layer of “stone, strength, steadfastness.”

As a given name, Rocki emerged in late-20th-century American usage, with visibility boosted by the pop-cultural fame of Rocky; this i-ending has a lighter, contemporary feel and is often chosen for girls, though the name remains comfortably unisex. Variants and related forms include Rocky, Rockie, Rocco, Roch, Roque, and Slovene Rok. Meanings range from “rest, repose” (via Rocco) to “rock; strong, solid” (via English).
