Where this word comes from
From Middle English Rochford, from two sources in Old English, both of which eventually converged into the modern form: # 'The rook ford' or 'Rook's ford', from Old English hrōc (“rook”), genitive plural hrōca + ford, or else from Old English personal name Hrōc, genitive singular Hrōces + ford (respectively). # 'Ford of the hunting dogs', from Old English ræċċ (“hunting dog”), genitive singular ræċċes (the vowel later assimilated to that of Old French roche (“rock, cliff”)) + ford.
