Rocha (surname)
Rocha is a Portuguese family name. It literally means “rock” or “boulder” in Portuguese; for instance, “rochas sedimentares, metamórficas e magmáticas” means “sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks”. It is also a topographical surname that is found in Portugal as “da Rocha” or simply Rocha, literally, "one who is from/of the rock".
The roots of the name are in the Middle East, believed to originate from Sephardi Jews. The family migrated to Europe when the Roman empire took over Israel and destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE. The first documented usage of the surname in Portugal was from a Monsignor de la Roche, who arrived in Portugal on his way to the Holy Land from possibly Flanders during the reign of Afonso III of Portugal, and assisted in the taking of Silves from the Moors. Afonso III of Portugal granted this gentleman lands in Torres Novas and other locales for his services. His descendants used the Portuguese version of the word, ‘da Rocha’.
Another wave of the Roche family, after the Jewish diaspora, moved to the Diocese of Fermoy, Ireland. After, they migrated to Portugal where they were viscounts during the reign of Joao I. This family helped with the Portuguese war against Castile and this gentleman had three sons, Gomes, Louis, and Raymond. It is from D. Gomes da Rocha where the Portuguese version of the name continued onto later generations.
