Larocque is a French language surname found primarily in Quebec, Nova Scotia (formerly Acadia), Prince Edward Island, Ontario, and the New England region of the United States.
There are four main branches of the Larocque surname in North America:
Philibert Couillaud dit Roquebrune (1641–1700), is known to be from the diocese of Nevers in France. Because his marriage record was never found his parents name and location in France remain unknown. He was said to be a member of the Carignan-Salières Regiment. The regiment landed in Quebec in 1665. He was sent primarily to defend New France from the Iroquois, and eventually settled down in Contrecoeur, Quebec. He married Catherine De La Porte dit St Georges in 1675 at Contrecoeur. The couple had 11 children in all. Members of this branch often have the surnames Larocque, Larock, Rock, Roquebrune, Rocquebrune, Rocque, Rockbrune, Rockburn or Couillaud.
Guillaume Larocque, from the diocese of Albi, France, married Jeanne Boivin in Montréal, Quebec in 1717.
Antoine Larocque, writer for King Louis XIV, was from Trie, France. He married Catherine Guillemot in 1752.
Francois Larocque, from France, married Marguerite Caplan about 1725.
