History & Origin

Lynix is a modern coinage: the soft Lyn- opening cut short by the -ix ending that Phoenix made fashionable, with an unmistakable echo of the wildcat lynx. It has no inherited etymology, and its routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'LIN-iks').

It is very rare in the U.S. Edgy, short, and modern.

Did you know? The -ix ending — Phoenix, Lennix, Nyx — has become shorthand for edge in modern naming. Lynix rides that sound, and also brings the lynx quietly along.
