Roxi Origin and Meaning

The name Roxi is a girl's name.

Roxi is a playful, modern feminine name that serves as a diminutive form of Roxanne or Roxana. These parent names derive from the Persian name 'Roshanak,' meaning 'dawn' or 'little star.' Roxi emerged as a standalone name in the late 20th century, offering a spunky, vibrant alternative to more formal versions. The 'i' ending gives it a youthful, friendly quality compared to the variant spelling 'Roxy.'

The name has modest but consistent usage in the United States and greater popularity in parts of Europe and Latin America.
