Music is an English word-name derived from Greek mousikē (μουσική) via Latin musica, Old French musique, and Middle English musike/music.

It appears more often as a middle name. Cross-linguistic variants include Musique (French), Música (Spanish/Portuguese), Musica (Italian/Latin), Musika (Basque), and Muzika (some Slavic languages); stylistic respellings like Musiq also occur. Related word-name cousins are Melody, Harmony, Lyric, Aria, Cadence, and Symphony. Possible nicknames include Muse or Mu. Meaning centers on “the art of the Muses; song and melody.”
