Rocín means "nag" (a low-grade horse), but also illiterate or rough man. There are similar words in French (roussin, rosse), Portuguese (rossim) and Italian (ronzino), but the real etymology is uncertain. The Spanish word ante means "before" or "previously", and as the narration of the novel states at the beginning of the book, when Don Quixote thinks of a name to give to his steed in order to set out on his adventures, he chooses Rocinante to establish it as no longer being a nag.
