What is the meaning of the name Rexana ?

The baby name Rexana is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced REK-sa-nah (IPA: /ˈrɛksənə/).

Rexana is Latin in Origin.

Rexana is a rare modern feminine name likely formed by blending Latin rex, “king,” with the Latinate suffix -ana or the given name Ana. The construction suggests meanings such as “regal” or, read as Rex + Ana, “kingly grace.” Its look also recalls Roxana/Roxanne, from Greek Roxane < Persian Roshanak, “bright; dawn,” a parallel that may shape its appeal. Attested sporadically since the late 20th century, Rexana appears in English- and Romance-language settings as a distinctive alternative to Roxana. Variants include Rexanna and Rexanne; related comparanda are Roxana/Roxanne, Roksana (Slavic), and Rukhsana (South Asian). Possible short forms are Ana and Rexa. With no entrenched historical bearer, the name functions as a contemporary coinage drawing on classical Latin and Persian resonances of royalty and radiance.
