Origin: German

Meaning: Hook; Of Hugh; Mind; Soul

If you wish to grant baby a strong identity from day one, consider the boy's name Hux. This adorable mini moniker may be linked to the Old English hoc ("hook") or the German Huc akin to Hugh. A clever way to honor familial ties, Hux makes a great choice if baby resembles a family member with a similar name. As a bonus, Hux has roots in the Old High German hugu which conveys notions of "mind" and "soul," hinting at a child who is thoughtful and mindful of others.
