Knoxie is Scottish in Origin.

Knoxie is a modern diminutive of the Scottish surname‑turned‑given name Knox, from Scots and Gaelic cnoc meaning “hill, hillock.” The affectionate -ie ending follows a long British pattern of softening surnames into cozy pet forms (think Alfie or Archie). As such, Knoxie carries the topographical sense of “little hill” while adding a playful, friendly tone. Usage today is largely unisex, though it still leans masculine.

As a nickname, Knoxie has appeared in Scotland and northern England for generations for boys bearing the surname Knox, echoing the legacy of Reformation leader John Knox. As a standalone given name it remained rare until the 21st century, when the rise of brisk, surname-style choices - and the 2008 celebrity birth of Knox - boosted visibility. Variants and spellings include Knoxy/Knoxey, Knoxi, and Noxie; related short form Nox offers a sleeker vibe.
