About Rockwell
This would be an intriguing choice for an illustrator's child, thanks to Norman Rockwell and Rockwell Kent. But most babies called Rockwell today are named after Porter Rockwell, a companion of Joseph Smith, founder of the Latter Day Saint movement.
Rockwell's last name is still going strong as a first name in Utah. In 2023, 66 baby boys in the US were named Rockwell, of which 20 were in the Western States, of which 14 were in Utah.
Of course, Rock and Rocky are adorable nicknames.
Pronounced ROK-wel.
As of October 2026, Rockwell ranked #1940 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1516 in 2017.
