The name "Rohata" has its origins in records from the 12th to 15th centuries, where it was documented as Rohatyn and Roha-tin. This nickname is derived from the anthroponym "Rohata," which comes from the shortened form of the name "Roh." This name is part of full two-root names such as Rohvolod, Rohned, and is formed with the suffix -ata. It is also worth noting that in 1649, a Cossack named Andriy Rohulya was mentioned in the Cherkasy regiment. Additionally, there are surnames in Transcarpathia associated with this name, such as Rohal, Rohach, Rohulich, and others.
