Roxyanna
Roxyanna Origin and Meaning
Roxyanna is a feminine name that appears to be a modern combination of Roxy (itself a diminutive of Roxanne) and the popular name ending '-anna.' Roxanne derives from the Persian name Roshanak, meaning 'bright' or 'dawn,' which entered Western naming traditions through Alexander the Great's wife. The elaborated form Roxyanna emerged likely in the late 20th century during the trend of creating longer, more embellished versions of familiar names. This innovative combination name remains extremely uncommon, with very few recorded uses in official records. Its melodic quality and fusion of recognizable elements give it an accessible uniqueness that might appeal to parents seeking a distinctive name with subtle connections to established naming traditions.
