Roxine is Persian in Origin.
Roxine is a rare feminine given name ultimately derived from Old Persian Roshanak, "bright, radiant", known in Greek as Roxane and Latin as Roxana. The form Roxine likely developed in French- and English-speaking contexts by analogy with -ine names like Pauline and Maxine, and may also have been influenced by Dutch Roxina. Close variants include Roxane/Roxanne, Roxana/Roxanna, Roksana (Slavic), and Roxina; common diminutives are Roxy and Roxie.
As a standalone spelling, Roxine appears sporadically from the late 19th century in parish and civil records, especially in the United States and parts of Germany, but it has remained far less common than Roxanne. Literary visibility of Roxane, most famously in Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac (1897), helped keep the family of names in circulation. Roxine conveys the same luminous meaning of "bright, dawn-like", wrapped in a succinct, vintage-leaning -ine ending.
