Rokah is in Origin.

Rokah is a Hebrew-derived given name linked to the noun rokeach (רוקח), “apothecary” or “perfumer.” The term appears in Biblical and rabbinic Hebrew (notably in Exodus 30’s anointing-oil recipe) and later became an Ashkenazi occupational surname. As a modern given name, Rokah carries associations of craftsmanship, healing, and pleasant fragrance - qualities of the ancient perfumer-pharmacist.

As a family name, it is better attested - borne by figures such as Rabbi Elazar Rokeach and Tel Aviv mayor Israel Rokach - while the given name has seen modest contemporary use in Israel and the diaspora, sometimes as a unisex choice and somewhat more common for girls because of the -ah ending. Variant spellings include Rokach, Rokeach, Rokakh, and Rokah; related surnames appear as Rokeach/Rokach in Yiddish and Hebrew records. Not to be confused with Arabic Rokaya/Ruqayyah or Slavic Rok/Rokas, which have separate origins and meanings.
