Meaning & Story

Nox is the Latin word for night — the personification of Night in Roman mythology, one of the primordial deities born from Chaos. Nox is ancient, powerful, and beautiful in its darkness.

Nox is a name of pure nocturnal elegance. It is night itself, personified — ancient, vast, and home to every mystery that lives after dark. It suits a dark-coated animal with a certain otherworldly quality: the black cat who appears at dusk, the dark dog who is most alive on evening walks. Short, crisp, and cosmically significant, Nox is a name for a pet who belongs to the night.
