- Rocha abstract "Rocha is a Portuguese family name. It literally means “rock” or “boulder” in Portuguese; for instance, “rochas sedimentares, metamórficas e magmáticas” means “sedimentary, metamorphic and magmatic rocks”. It is also a topographical surname that is found in Portugal as “da Rocha” or simply Rocha, literally, "one who is from/of the rock".The roots of the name are in the Middle East, believed originating from Sephardi Jews. The family migrated to Europe when the Roman empire took over Israel and destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE. The first documented usage of the surname in Portugal was from a Monsignor de la Roche, who arrived in Portugal on his way to the Holy Land from possibly Flanders during the reign of Afonso III of Portugal, and assisted in the taking of Silves from the Moors. Afonso III of Portugal granted this gentlemen lands in Torres Novas and other locales for his services. His descendants used the Portuguese version of the word, ‘da Rocha’.Another wave of the Roche family, after the Jewish diaspora, moved to Diocese of Fermoy, Ireland. After, they migrated to portugal where they were viscounts during the reign of Joao I This family helped with the Portuguese war against Castile and this gentlemen had three sons, Gomes, Louis, and Raymond. It is from D. Gomes da Rocha where the Portuguese version of the name continued onto later generations.Another Portuguese author, Felgueiras Gayo, states Gomes was married to a lady by the name of D. Ines de Meneses (who changed her name from Ines Avireina) after becoming a widow, he became commandante of Pombeiro. It is from this family that the current coat-of-arms bearing ‘da Rocha’ families of Portugal are said to be descended. Today many descendants of the Rocha family live in southern Brazil, as many members of the family were forced to move out of Portugal due to the Portuguese Inquisition and prosecution of the Jews.Conspiracy theorists say that the family at some point in history, had a monopoly in the entire fishing business in Portugal. It is believed that at some stage the family was richest than the portuguese king. Conspiracy theorists also claim that the family used to lend money and finance Jewish businesses all over Portugal, Spain and France. The family were also involved in financing gentiles charging lots of interests.".
