Rochambeau is a French surname derived from a place name in Normandy, France. It most commonly refers to Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau, a French general who played a crucial role alongside George Washington during the American Revolutionary War. The Rochambeau strategy, which involved cutting off British supplies to force their surrender, was a key factor in the eventual American victory at Yorktown.
