Origin: place name for the man who lived by a rocky crag or outcropping. Our Rock ancestors have emigrated from France to the New World and, therefore, the surname Rock did not appear in our lineage until the early to mid 1800s. Variations include: Rocque, Rocquebrune, Larocquebrune, Couillaud, Couillaud dit Rocquebrune, Couillaud dit Larocquebrune, as well as others.Source: Broken Arrow Publishing |
