Roccarainola is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Naples in the Italian region Campania, located about 30 km northeast of Naples.
The name of Roccarainola is composed of two parts, the first, refers to a hill (appunto rocca) on which a castle once stood, and the second to a person's name of Lombard origin, Ragino or Raino. According to some, the term Rainola is linked to the term rava, meaning cliff, to which the term rocca (rock) was later added, where the castle was built.
