Roxanny is in Origin.

Roxanny is a modern elaboration of Roxanne, itself traced through French Roxane and Latin/Greek Roxana (Roxánē) to Old Persian Raoxšanā, related to modern Persian Roshanak. The root raoxšna- means “bright, radiant; dawn,” yielding senses such as “shining one” or “little light.” Roxanny follows late‑20th‑century trends that add a final ‑y or double consonants to soften or personalize familiar names.

Usage of the Rox- family stretches from the Bactrian princess Roxana, wife of Alexander the Great, to European literature - Racine’s Roxane and Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac - before English Roxanne gained mid‑century popularity. Roxanny remains uncommon but recognizable as a creative variant in the Americas. International forms include Roxana (Spanish, Romanian), Roxane (French), Roxanne (English), Roksana (Polish/Slavic), and Roshanak or Rukhsana (Persian/Urdu pathways). Short forms and pet names include Roxy and Roxie; longer forms include Roxanna. Across the family, the prevailing meaning evokes brightness, radiance, and daybreak.
