What does Roxy mean?
/ˈɹɑksi/2 syllables

Roxy is a pet form of Roxanne, an English name derived from the Persian Roshanak, meaning "bright" or "shining." The name reached the West through the historical Roxana of Bactria, a wife of Alexander the Great.

Roxy has a snappy, confident sound, a name that suits a spirited companion who lights up a room. It works equally well for a scrappy little dog or a glamorous cat.
