Origin: Greek

Meaning: Night

Lovers of Greek mythology may adore the mystical name Nyx, a gender-neutral title borne by the revered Greek goddess and personification of night. This nebulous figure is as ancient as the dawn of creation and is believed to be the only goddess Zeus feared. If nighttime is when you flourish, you'll likely bestow this love of the star-filled sky onto baby. Finding comfort in the moon and constellations is within our nature, and naming baby "night" may inspire the courage to defeat the monster under the bed.
