Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Rozanne: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1981.

Rozanne is a graceful Persian name brought into English via the Greek Roxane, ultimately from *Roshanak* meaning “dawn” or “bright light,” famously borne by the wife of Alexander the Great. Literary heritage runs strong—Edmond Rostand’s *Cyrano de Bergerac* featured a beloved Roxane—while modern bearer Rozanne Gold is an award-winning chef and cookbook author who helped define New American cuisine. No major place shares the exact name, though the Persian root *roshan* appears in place names like Roshanabad. The variant spelling Rozanne offers a softer, less common alternative to the more familiar Roxanne, giving the name a distinctive but accessible feel that has appeared sparingly on Scottish birth records since the late 20th century.
