An uncommon Scottish Gaelic pick — distinctive and rare.
Lynox is a boy's and girl's baby name, a modern creative variant of Lennox, which derives from Scottish Gaelic origin meaning 'elm grove' or from a place in Scotland. The spelling with a Y and X gives it a sharper, more contemporary edge.
Lynox fits the trend of parents reimagining classic Scottish and English surnames as striking first names, with the X-ending adding a bold, modern finish that feels strong and memorable.
Lynox has 5+ years of history in the U.S., first appearing in 2016.
