Roxie is a unique and charming name of American origin, derived from the word 'rocks'. It gained popularity as a nickname for Roxanne, but it has since established itself as a standalone given name. Pronounced /ˈrɒksi/, this name consists of three letters, making it short yet memorable. Roxie is often associated with a vibrant and energetic spirit, which may contribute to its appeal. As a name of American origin, Roxie might evoke images of the independent, spirited women portrayed in classic Hollywood movies or musicals like "Chicago". The name's connection to the word 'rocks' could also suggest strength and solidity.
Roxie was a moderately popular name throughout much of the early to mid-20th century, with notable spikes in popularity around 1922 and again around 1940-1941. However, it never reached extraordinary heights, averaging about 6 births per year from 1928 onwards until its last recorded peak in 1955.
