Beaux is French in Origin.
Beaux is a modern given name drawn from French, where beau means “handsome; fine,” and beaux is the masculine plural form. Through English, beau also came to denote a stylish suitor or boyfriend, so the plural “beaux” appeared widely in 18th-19th-century writing. As a first name, Beaux keeps the flattering sense of “handsome/beautiful” while adding French flair and the fashionable -x ending.
Usage is chiefly in the United States, with pockets of popularity in areas influenced by French and Creole culture, notably Louisiana. It arose as a creative spelling of Beau and has gained modest traction in the 21st century; some families treat it as unisex, though it is more common for boys. Variants and related forms include Beau, Bo, Boe, and Bowe; feminine counterparts from the same root are Belle and Bella.
