The former represents the original British name, composed of the elements duro- ‘fortress’ and brÄ«vÄ â€˜bridge’.

There is a much smaller place in Northumbria also called Rochester, which seems to have been named in imitation of the more important one, but which is a more than occasional source of the surname. In other cases there may also have been confusion with Wroxeter in Shropshire, recorded in Domesday Book as Rochecestre.
