The baby name Lux is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced English: /lʌks/ (LUKS).
Lux is Latin in Origin.
Lux is a sleek, gender-neutral name from Latin lux, lucis, meaning “light.” Long present in Church Latin mottos (Lux Mundi, “light of the world”) and hymns, the word later lent its form to the SI unit of illuminance. Through the Luc-/Luk- root, it connects to a broad family of names, and its bright, minimalist sound has appealed to modern namers across languages.
As a given name, Lux saw little historical use until its late 20th- and 21st-century revival, boosted by pop-culture references such as Lux Lisbon in The Virgin Suicides. Related forms and variants include Lucia/Lucía, Lucy, Lucie, Lucille, Lucinda; masculine Lucius, Lucian, Luciano, Luke, Lucas; and Spanish/Portuguese Luz. The meaning centers on radiance and clarity - “light” - making Lux a compact choice with classical depth and contemporary style.
