What is the meaning of the name Roxie ?

The baby name Roxie is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced ROK-see (IPA: /ˈrɑksi/ or /ˈrɒksi/).

Roxie is Persian in Origin.

Roxie is an English diminutive of Roxanne/Roxana, names rooted in Greek Rhōxánē, from Old Persian Roshanak/Raoxšna meaning “bright; dawn; radiant.” Through Latin and French (Roxane, Roxanne), the pet forms Roxy/Roxie developed in the 19th century and began to appear as independent given names in English-speaking countries. Usage rose in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, especially in the United States, briefly dipping mid‑century before enjoying periodic revivals thanks to its punchy, retro vibe.

Variants and related forms include Roxy, Roxi, and occasional Roxey; longer forms Roxanne, Roxane, Roxanna, and Roxana/Roksana across European and Persian-influenced languages, with Romanian and Spanish favoring Roxana. The name carries luminous imagery - “bright,” “dawnlight,” “radiant one” - and associations with Alexander the Great’s wife Roxana, which helped transmit the name into classical and later European tradition. Nicknames such as Rox and Ro add further casual options.
