Meaning & Origin

Alternative form of Roxy.

Roxie is a girl's and boy's baby name of Persian origin, a diminutive of Roxana meaning 'bright' or 'dawn.' Roxie Hart — the ambitious chorus girl at the center of the musical Chicago — gave the name a brassy, theatrical, golden-age glamour that's hard to resist.

With over 18,000 U.S. births, Roxie has the vivacious energy of a showstopper.
