Nyx Origin and Meaning
The name Nyx is a boy's name of Greek origin meaning "night".
Nyx is the name of the Greek goddess of the night, and while it does lean feminine in the US, 26 boys did receive the name in a recent year. That meant nearly 30% of all babies called Nyx were boys.
Nyx may appeal as an alternative to Knox (or Nox), and to those who like Onyx, Lennox, and Phoenix but want something outside the Top 1000.
