Rochereil is a surname of French origin. It is most likely derived from a place name, indicating that the original bearer of the name or their ancestors came from a place called Rochereil or a similar variant. The name probably signifies "rocky place" or a location near a prominent rock formation, combining "Roche" (rock) with a diminutive suffix "-reil." The presence of the "de" particle historically signified nobility or landed gentry, though its absence in some modern instances does not necessarily indicate a lack of ancestral association with such status.
