Roquefort is a French Bleu Cheese.
Bleu is the traditional French word, where the "fromage bleu" was invented. Blue is English. In American stores it can be spelled either way, though many bleu cheeses are imported from Canada or France. If it's from a local dairy, you'll probably be buying blue cheese.

Blue cheese is an entire category of cheese including plenty of other cheeses, like Roquefort, Fourme d'Ambert, Point Reyes Blue, Bleu d'Auvergne, and Stilton, to name a few. Gorgonzola is just one type of Italian blue cheese. It's very fashionable in recipes at the moment, but can be substituted with any other blue cheese. It's generally available in a younger, milder, creamier variety (Dolce Latte), and an older, firmer, stronger variety (Aged Gorgonzola).

I think blue cheese originally came from France.
Cambozola cheese is a creamy bleu cheese that originated from Allgau, Germany. It is made by injecting the cheese with a Penicillium mold that is blue and soft ripening it.
