Fox Origin and Meaning
The name Fox is a boy's name .
Fox is one animal name backed by a longish tradition, and then popularized via the lead character Fox Mulder on X Files. Fox is simple, sleek, and a little bit wild, and could make an interesting middle name.
It was reported that the TV character's first name was not a tribute to the Fox network which aired The X-Files, as often assumed; show creator Chris Carter said he had a childhood friend named Fox.
Fox was one of the fastest-rising boys' names of 2016, perhaps because of the popularity of the X-Files revival.
