Meaning & Origin
Phoenix (mythical firebird)
Fenix is a boy's and girl's baby name of Greek origin, an alternate spelling of Phoenix, from the Greek phoinix, referring to the mythological firebird that is consumed by flame and rises reborn from its own ashes, symbolizing 'resurrection, renewal, and immortality.'
Fenix is the Phoenix spelling that has gained particular traction in Spanish-speaking communities and among parents who prefer a streamlined look — it carries the same soaring mythology with a slightly more contemporary, international feel.
