Rexane is in Origin.

Rexane is a rare modern variant of Roxane/Roxana, ultimately traced to Persian Roshanak (rošanak), meaning “little bright one,” “radiant,” or “dawn.” The name entered the classical world as Greek Roxane (Ρωξάνη) and Latin Roxana, borne by the Bactrian noblewoman who married Alexander the Great, which anchored its visibility across Hellenistic and later European tradition. Literary revivals, notably the character Roxane in Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac, helped sustain the wider family of forms into modern usage.

The spelling Rexane appears in late 20th- and 21st-century Francophone and Anglophone records as a streamlined respelling; some read it as a playful blend evoking Latin rex (“king”), though its etymology remains tied to Roshanak. Related variants include Rexanne and Rexana; standard counterparts are Roxane (French), Roxanne (English), Roxana (Spanish/Romanian), Roksana (Polish/Ukrainian), Roxána (Hungarian), and Persian Roshanak. South Asian Rukhsana is a culturally adapted relative.
