Rockie is in Origin.

Rockie is a modern English diminutive and variant spelling of Rocky, used both as a nickname and an independent given name. It draws on two streams: the English noun rock, evoking strength and steadfastness, and the Italian-Germanic name Rocco (linked to Saint Roch), whose debated root is often glossed as "rest" or "repose." Through these influences, Rockie can suggest either "strong as a rock" or "rest, relief."

As a given name in the United States and elsewhere, usage rose with mid-20th-century sports figures and spiked after the 1976 film Rocky, though the -ie spelling remains the rarer, often gender-flexible choice. Common variants and related forms include Rocky, Rocki (more feminine), Rockey, and longer sources such as Rocco, Roch (French/Polish), and Roque (Spanish/Portuguese). Rockie offers a softer, approachable twist on a tough nickname while retaining its sturdy, upbeat vibe.
