Meaning
The male first name Rochus originates from Latin and means "the rock" or "the stone". It is a shortened form of the name Rochusius, which in turn is derived from the Latin word "roccus" meaning "rock" or "stone". The name thus has a strong and robust meaning, indicating strength and durability. Rochus is particularly popular in Catholic regions and is often venerated as a patron saint against plagues and diseases.
