Ahnyx is a recent American coinage. Its sound recalls Onyx, the dark banded stone, and Nyx, the Greek goddess of night; the -yx spelling gives it an edge. It is not a documented form of either name, and the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'AH-niks').
It appears only very rarely in the U.S. Very rare, striking, and invented.
Did you know? Ahnyx borrows its ending from Onyx, the banded gemstone, and its ring from Nyx, the Greek goddess of night — though it is a coinage rather than a form of either, which we note (said 'AH-niks').
