Roxelana

Playful yet grand, Roxelana was the name used by Hürrem Sultan, consort and wife of the 16th century Ottoman sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent. The name may refer to her birth place, Ruthenia, or it may be a spin on the Persian rauxšna, meaning "bright, light", the root of names such as Roxana, Rossana, Roshan, and Roshanak.

Occasionally used in Latin America, it could be an unexpected way to nicknames Roxy, Lana, and Lani.

Pronounced rock-seh-LAH-nuh.
