Rockford ("rook" (the bird) + "ford") is a common American place name

Rockefeller (from German Rockenfeld <- Rukenvelt "ridge field") is an American surname

Roquefort literally means "fortified rock/cliff"

Rocquefort is also a french village that makes and names a stinky cheese hence the mention of it on a cheese themed thread.
