Variation of Onyx

"fingernail; claw"

Onyxia Origin and Meaning

The name Onyxia is a girl's name meaning "fingernail; claw".

Onyxia is a dragon in the video game franchise World of Warcraft. Her name fittingly references her species of Black Dragon. The gem name "onyx" is derived from the Greek onux, which referred to fingernails and claws in addition to the gem.

Onyxia made the charts for the first time in 2021, when it was given to six baby girls. It didn't feature in the charts in 2022, but as Onyx continues to rise for both sexes, we expect Onyxia to pick up in use — among WoW fans and the uninitiated.
