For what it is worth, there are many churches (and many more altars)
dedicated to Sveti Rok (=St. Roch) in Croatia which indicates that his cult
was widespread (parton saint against plague?). There is quite a number of
toponyms derived from his name, e.g. Sveti Rok in Lika, or Rokov perivoj
which is a picturesque part of Zagreb...
