Rocio

Rocio is a lyrical name of Spanish origin that traditionally means 'dew' or 'morning dew.' Though listed here as masculine, it is predominantly used as a feminine name in Spanish-speaking cultures, particularly in Spain and Latin America. The name has religious significance as it references 'Nuestra Señora del Rocío' (Our Lady of the Dew), a venerated manifestation of the Virgin Mary. Pronunciation varies slightly by region, but it typically sounds like 'roh-SEE-oh.' The name evokes freshness, purity, and natural beauty through its connection to morning dew. While not widely used in English-speaking countries, Rocio has maintained consistent popularity in Hispanic communities and is appreciated for its melodious sound and meaningful connection to nature and spirituality.

Pronounced RO-see-o.
