What Rocio means
Where Rocio comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Rocío comes from Latin ros, roris, meaning dew. Spanish carried that word into rocío, the moisture that gathers on grass before dawn. As a given name it belongs almost entirely to Spain, and it is given to girls.
Behind the name stands a Marian title, Nuestra Señora del Rocío, Our Lady of the Dew, venerated in the village of El Rocío in Andalusia. Every spring large pilgrimages cross the marshes near Almonte to reach her shrine at Pentecost. A girl called Rocío tends to keep her name-day with that festival rather than a fixed calendar date. The Andalusian singer Rocío Jurado made the name known well beyond Spain.
The meaning stays close to the Latin. Dew, small and plain. In a Polish register the sense is rosa, the same drops that sit on a morning field.
