There are no historical documents attached to Thomas.
English (Middlesex and Surrey): perhaps a habitational name from any of several minor places called Rockhill, such as Rockhill Farm in Stourton Caundle (Dorset) or Rockhill Farm in Greete (Shropshire). However, early forms for these particular places have not been found and so the surname may alternatively be a variant of Rochelle (compare Rockett ).
