The name Rockefeller is derived from the Prench '' Roquefeuille '" and means rock and field as illustrated by the coat of arms of which I will tell you later....
It has also been found that the name originated from the Latin Rocafolio which was assumed or taken for a last name by members of the family about the year 900 at which period there began a general assumption of last or second names throughout all Europe. This name was chosen after the name of their first chateau which was called Rocafolio and was built out of the peculiar rocks. From Memoires pour servir d L'Hisioire du Rouergue By L. C. P. Bosc.
The Rockefeller's were, back in the day, the French family Rocafolia which had a chateau in France. They were French Nobility. Of particular note for the Rockefeller/Rocafolia family was Hugues de Rocafolio who was the Knights Templar Commander of Ruou in France in 1305 AD. The Rockefeller's have been close to the top of the Freemason food chain for a long time.
