Roxanne (given name)
Roxanne is a Persian feminine given name. The English rendition of the name is derived from Greek Rhōxanē, 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 Persian Raṷxšnā-, meaning “bright” or “radiant”. It shares the same etymology as the Persian word “roshan”, which also means “light” or “bright”.
