Lenox is Scottish in Origin.

Lenox is a Scottish place‑name turned surname and given name, a streamlined variant of Lennox. It traces to the Gaelic Leamhnachd, from leamhan (“elm”) + ach (“place”), yielding the sense “place of elms” or “elm grove.” The Lennox was a historic district around Loch Lomond, and the territorial name produced medieval titles such as Earl of Lennox before migrating into a family name.

As a first name it is unisex and has risen in recent decades across the English‑speaking world, sharing style with Maddox and Knox. Well‑known bearers of the traditional Lennox spelling - boxer Lennox Lewis and singer Annie Lennox - have kept the sound familiar. Variants include Lennox (standard), Lenox (this form), and occasional creative Lenoxx. Possible nicknames are Len, Lenny, and Nox, and the meaning suggests sturdiness and natural grace through the enduring elm.
