The pronunciation of Socorro is so-KOR-roh, with the emphasis on the second syllable. The name is composed of two parts: "socor" and "ro." "Socor" comes from the Latin word "succurrere," which means "to run to the aid of." "Ro" is a common suffix in Spanish names, which means "of" or "from."

The name has also been used in literature and popular culture, such as in the novel "Socorro!" by Mexican author Elena Poniatowska and the Pixar film "Coco," which features a character named Socorro.
