This name, which refers to Mary as the Virgin of the Dew, is all but unknown in the Anglo community, but popular enough in Hispanic families that it made the US Top 1000 until least until 2006. In Spain and Chile it remains a Top 100 option, and can also be spelled without the accent, as Rocio.

Caria is both a rare elaboration of Cara and Carrie and and the name of an ancient region of Asia Minor. Given to a handful of girls in the US since the 50s, it is rarely given to more than 10 babies in a single year.
 
As an elaboration, it derives from either Caroline (vias Carrie) meaning "free man", or from the Irish and Italian Cara, meaning "beloved, dear" and "friend". As an ancient place name, it connects to a region of what was once Anatolia and is now modern day Turkey. The name may have come from the king of the region, Car or Kar, who may or may not have been the same Kar of Megara in Greek mythology.

Chavé is a feminine name with multiple cultural connections. It may be related to the Hebrew name Chava (Eve), meaning 'life' or 'living one,' or could be derived from the French name Chavée, referring to a hollow or valley. In some contexts, it could also be connected to the word 'chavez' or 'chaves,' meaning 'keys' in Spanish and Portuguese. The accent on the final 'e' gives the name a melodic quality and distinctive pronunciation. Chavé remains relatively rare, making it an uncommon and distinctive choice. The name carries a cosmopolitan feel with its potential connections to multiple language traditions, appealing to parents seeking a name that is both uncommon and culturally rich with a contemporary sound.

The name of an American cosmetics company which was inspired by the ancient traditional medicine  practices known as Ayurveda, literally "knowledge of longevity" in Sanskrit.

If you can get past this, a pretty and evocative name associated with holistic health and beauty.
