Banx Origin and Meaning

The name Banx is a boy's name meaning "one who lives on the hillside or riverbank".

Rising star Banks manages to sound both preppy and outdoorsy, both working the land and working in finance. Banx adds another layer of possibility to the name, giving it an edgy, ultra-modern vibe.

Deriving from English surname, the original Banks spelling refers to rivers and hillsides and more specifically to the people who live and work on them. Used occasionally as a given name since the 19th century, Banks took off in the 2010s, and entered the Top 1000 in 2019.

Banx meanwhile was rarely, if ever, used before 2012 but has gained far more interest in recent years thanks to Banks' fame. Given to 66 boys in 2023, it may well rise in the future.
