Roxeena is Persian in Origin.
Roxeena is a modern elaboration of the ancient name Roxana, the Greek form of Old Persian Roshanak (also rendered Raoxshna), meaning "bright, radiant" or "little light." Through Roxana - borne by the Bactrian wife of Alexander the Great - the root traveled into Latin and later European languages. The double-e spelling in Roxeena likely arose to signal the pronunciation rox-EE-nuh and to blend the familiar Rox- stem with the feminine -ina/-ena ending.
Usage is rare and contemporary, but close relatives have long histories: Roxane and Roxanne in French and English, Roxanna in English and American records, and Roksana/Roxana across Slavic and Romance languages; South Asian forms include Rukhsana. Possible variants and spellings for Roxeena include Roxena, Roxina, Roxeina, and Roxeana. Nicknames Roxy and Roxie are common. Overall, Roxeena carries the luminous meaning of its Persian source with a fresh, distinctive silhouette.
