Roksane is Persian in Origin.

Roksane is a contemporary spelling of the Persian-rooted name borne in antiquity by Roxana, the Bactrian wife of Alexander the Great. The underlying Iranian element means "bright, shining" and is often interpreted as "dawn-light." Through Greek and Latin channels, the name circulated across the Hellenistic and later European worlds, recurring in various eras and cultures while retaining its luminous sense.

Roksane reflects Slavic-influenced orthography and is encountered in parts of Eastern Europe and the Balkans, though it remains rarer than its cousins. Established variants include Roxana (Latin, Romanian, Spanish, Hungarian), Roxane (French), Roxanne (English), and Roksana (Polish, Ukrainian, Russian). Common diminutives are Roxy, Roxi, and Roksi. Literary visibility - from Racine's Bajazet and Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac to the modern pop song "Roxanne" - has sustained the name's appeal as bright, elegant, and cosmopolitan.
