Roxanne by the numbers
In 2025, 20 babies in England and Wales were named Roxanne. In the US, 188 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given noticeably more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 2,230 babies in 1954, so it is a 1950s name that has since fallen a long way.
