Rokhsane is Persian in Origin.

Rokhsane is a Persian feminine name whose roots lie in Old Iranian; it is closely related to Roshanak (“little light, dawn-bright”), known in Greek as Roxane, the name of Alexander the Great’s Bactrian wife. The element rošan/rowshan means “bright, luminous,” and over time the name also converged with Persian rukhsār (“cheek, visage”), giving Rokhsane an added poetic sense of “bright- or beautiful-faced” in literary Persian and Indo-Persian usage.

Variants and cognates include Rokhsaneh, Rokhsana, Rukhsana/Ruqsana (Urdu/Bengali), Roshanak/Rowshanak (Persian), and the European forms Roxane, Roxana, Roxanne, Roxanna. Short forms like Roxy/Roxie occur in Western contexts. The name appears across Iran, Afghanistan, and Central and South Asia, and entered European languages through classical and Renaissance retellings of Alexander’s life. Rokhsane balances an ancient, luminous meaning with a graceful sound, appealing to families seeking a culturally rooted yet internationally familiar choice.
