Roxannie is a modern blended feminine name, combining Roxanne with Annie. Roxanne stems from French Roxane, from Greek Roxánē and Latin Roxana, ultimately from Persian Roshanak (“bright, dawn; little light”), the name of Alexander the Great’s Bactrian wife. Annie is a pet form of Anne, from Hebrew Hannah (“grace, favor”). Together, Roxannie is often interpreted as “bright grace” or “dawn of grace.”

Rare in contemporary English-speaking countries, Roxannie appears from the late 20th century as an elaborative -ie form influenced by affectionate nicknaming. Related forms include Roxanne, Roxane, Roxanna, Roxana, and Greek Roxani; cognates trace back to Persian Roshanak. Informal nicknames and short forms include Roxy/Roxie, Rox, Annie, and Ann. Variant spellings sometimes seen are Roxanie or Roxanni. The name carries a cosmopolitan feel through its Persian-Greek-French pathway while retaining the friendly, vintage charm of Annie.
