Meaning & Origin
A surname.
Hux is a boy's baby name of Old English origin, a surname variant of Huxley — from the Old English meaning 'Hucc's meadow' or possibly related to the dialectal word for 'hip' (hucks). As a standalone name, Hux has the punchy, minimal energy of a great modern one-syllable name.
General Hux of the First Order in Star Wars: The Force Awakens gave this unusual surname sudden cultural recognition. The name works as both a literary discovery and a bold naming choice on its own terms.
