Roxanne (given name)

”Roxanne” is a Persian feminine given name. The English rendition of the name is derived from Greek Rhōxanē (Latinised to Roxana), used for Roxana, one of Cambyses's wives, the daughter of Idérnēs, a sister of one sister of king Mithridates VI, and the wife of Alexander the Great. The name originates from the Old Iranian Raṷxšnā-, meaning “bright” or “radiant”. It shares the same etymology as the Persian word “roshan”, which also means “light” or “bright” (روشن).
