    Rocco

    Pronounced ROK-oh

    boy
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Rocco does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Rest; Rock", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Rocco.

    "Rest; Rock"
    Origin
    Germanic/Italian

    Rocco is the rock — and Christ is the rock upon which the church is built. 'Upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.' Rocco stands upon the immovable foundation.

    Spiritual meaning

    Rocco stands on the spiritual Rock — Christ the foundation, gates of hell failing, the church built on the immovable stone that provides rest.

    Questions about biblical name meanings

    How do I find the biblical meaning of a name?

    Type the name into the search box above. The tool returns the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, or Latin root behind the name, its literal meaning, and the King James Version passages where it appears.

    Does every name have a biblical meaning?

    No. Many modern Christian names never appear in Scripture, and some popular 'biblical meanings' circulating online are inaccurate. Where a name is thematic rather than scriptural, we say so plainly instead of inventing a verse for it.

    Which Bible translation do the verses come from?

    The King James Version. It is public domain in the United States, so the text can be quoted and shared freely.

    How can I tell whether a name is actually in the Bible?

    Each result distinguishes a name that appears in the KJV from a later Christian or thematic name. Related verses explain a theme; they are not presented as proof that a modern name occurs in Scripture.
