Lenox Origin and Meaning

The name Lenox is a boy's name meaning "elm grove".

Lennox is one of the hottest unisex names of recent years, and this spelling retains the appealing surname vibe and cool -x ending. This form does distance the name slightly from the literary and boxing associations of the original, linking it instead to a tableware manufacturer, a 17th naval ship, and several American places.

While the Lennox spelling is chosen seven times more often than Lenox, the single N option does have a cool, slightly sci-fi-esque feel to it. Given to 170 boys in each recent year, it is trending upwards.
