What is the meaning of the name Rok ?

The baby name Rok is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /rok/ — "ROHK" (rhymes with "rock").

Rok is in Origin.

Rok is the Slovene masculine form of the medieval Christian name Roch/Rocco, likely from an Old High German element hrok/hroc meaning "rest, repose," though some link it to "rock"; the etymology remains uncertain. The name entered Slovene use through devotion to Saint Roch (French Roch, Italian Rocco), the 14th-century pilgrim venerated as a protector against plague. It spread with his cult across Catholic Europe and remains notably popular in Slovenia, with modern peaks in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

International variants include Rocco (Italian), Roko (Croatian), Roch (French, Polish), Roque (Spanish/Portuguese), and Rochus (German/Latin); Slovene diminutives include Rokec and Roki. The usual name day is 16 August, St. Roch's feast. Connotations draw on the putative sense of "rest" and on the saint's resilience and healing, giving Rok a succinct, modern sound with deep historical roots.
