Meaning & origin
Roxine is a rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1917. It never reached the top 1000, making it an uncommon choice even at its peak year of 1944. The name has remained stable in low usage through the latest year of data. While its etymology is uncertain, Roxine likely emerged as a modern elaboration, possibly influenced by names like Roxanne or Maxine. Despite its rarity, it has a friendly, approachable feel similar to other -ine names from the mid-20th century.
Roxine appears to be a modern coinage, likely a feminine elaboration of the name Rox (itself a short form of Roxana or a variant of Rocky) combined with the fashionable suffix -ine. The name Roxana derives from the Persian 'Roshanak' meaning 'dawn' or 'bright', but Roxine's direct connection is uncertain. It was first recorded in the United States in 1917, with a modest peak during the 1940s.
