Rock spring
Derived from an English surname, Rockwell originally referred to a person living near a rocky spring or stream. It combines the Old English elements 'hroc' (rock) and 'well' (spring, stream, or well). While historically a surname, it has gained traction as a distinctive given name with a mid-century artistic flair.
