Rochester
The name Rochester is of Old English origin. The meaning of Rochester is 'stone camp' and 'rock fortress'. People also believed Rochester to be a habitational name derived from the city of Kent. Bede recorded it under the name of Dorubrevi and Hrofæcæstre. They represent the original British name, composed of elements: 'duro', meaning 'fortress', and 'brīvā', meaning 'bridge'. It is also a contracted form mixed with the Old English word 'cæster', which means 'Roman fort'. Furthermore, Rochester is a small place in Northumbria, making it more of a surname than a first name. Therefore, it is a prevalent first name in the United States, Brazil, the Philippines, South Africa, Malaysia, India, China, and England. It is used as a surname in the United States, England, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa, Singapore, Sweden, Brazil, and Russia.
