Roanne is French in Origin.

Roanne is a modern feminine given name with layered origins. In English use it is often understood as a compound of Rose (Latin rosa) and Anne (from Hebrew Hannah, "grace, favor"), yielding readings such as "graceful rose" or "rose of grace." The spelling and sound also align with French, and the name can allude to Roanne, the Loire town whose name descends from ancient Gaulish/Latin forms, lending a toponymic, Francophone aura rather than a fixed lexical meaning.

As a given name, Roanne surfaces in the mid-20th century amid fashions for blended or hyphenated forms (Ro-Ann/Ro-Anne) and remains uncommon but familiar in English-speaking countries. It is sometimes chosen as a sleeker alternative to Joanne, Rowan, or Roxanne. Variants and near-forms include Ro-Ann, Roann, Roanna, Roana, Rowanne, and Rohanne; in French usage, Roanne itself is chiefly geographic, while the personal name functions as a contemporary, elegant coinage.
