Roxanna
Roxanna is a feminine given name, a variant spelling of Roxana or Roxanne.
The name derives from an ancient Persian word meaning "dawn" or "bright." It appears in historical and literary contexts—most famously as the wife of Alexander the Great.
Parents choosing between Roxanna, Roxana, and Roxanne often base the decision on aesthetic preference: She named her daughter Roxanna after her grandmother.
