What does Rocco mean?
2 syllablesOrigin: Italian

Rocco is an Italian name traced to the Germanic element hruoh, meaning “crow.” It's long been associated with Saint Rocco, a medieval pilgrim venerated as a protector against plague, which helped spread the name across Italy and beyond.

Rocco has a solid, affectionate swagger to it, a name that suits a pet with a stocky build and a big personality, equal parts tough and lovable.
