History & Origin

Rocsi is an inventive respelling of Roxy, itself short for Roxanne, whose root is the Old Persian Roshanak, dawn or little star, carried west by the story of Alexander the Great's wife. The c-and-s spelling gives the familiar nickname a modern, personal look. Rocsi surfaced mainly in the late two-thousands and stayed a rare choice.

Rocsi was rare, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak in the late two-thousands, and it did not become established. A girl named Rocsi then would be a young adult today.

Did you know? Rocsi gained visibility through the television personality Rocsi Diaz, a longtime music-show host, which lines up with the name's small rise in the late two-thousands.
