Stix is in Origin.

Stix is a modern respelling of Styx, the mythic river and goddess of the underworld in Greek tradition (Greek Στύξ, Stýx), derived from stygéō “to hate, abhor,” often glossed as “the Hateful” or “the Shunned.” In myth, oaths sworn by the Styx were inviolable, and its waters conferred protective power, lending the name connotations of solemnity, boundary, and resilience.

As a given name Stix is very rare and largely contemporary, used as a unisex choice with a sharp, minimalist sound. It appears more often as a nickname or stage name - especially for drummers, via “drumsticks” - than in historical birth records. Variant spellings include Styx (traditional), Styxx (modern stylization), and Sticks (informal English). Related associations include the adjective “stygian” and mythic river-names like Acheron or Lethe. Pronounced like “sticks.”
