Meaning of the first name
The origin of the name is not clear. It is mainly derived as a Latinized form of the Old High German name 'Roho', a short form of older names with the initial syllable Roch- (e.g. Rochold, Rochwald, Rochbert) from Old High German 'Rochon' = 'to shout, call out, utter the war cry', or from these names themselves. But there is also the derivation of the French “ roche ”, Spanish “ roca ” = “rock” (possibly in analogy to Peter ) and the derivation from the Persian “ruch” = “with archers Elephant'.
Phrase
The noun "Rochus" from phrases like "a Rochus on someone who" (be mad at someone), "do something out Rochus ' (some of rage, anger, resentment do) comes over the rotwelsch from the Yiddish word, smoke', meaning 'Anger', 'anger'.
In the Nuremberg area there is the phrase "... otherwise Rochus will get you" , it goes back to the origin of the St. Rochus cemetery during the plague epidemic in 1518.
