Fox
Meaning of Fox
Fox is an English word-name born from the Old English “fox,” once a surname for fiery redheads and sharp-witted souls, now reborn as a sleek first name that darts through playgrounds with the grace of its woodland namesake. He carries a double passport: in English he’s clever and quick, while in Spanish-speaking circles “el zorro” lends him a dash of Latin swagger—think Diego de la Vega trading his mask for a baby blanket. Pop culture keeps the spotlight bright: Agent Fox Mulder investigates the unexplained, Fox McCloud pilots starships, and the FOX network itself beams into living rooms, so the name feels both familiar and daring. Parents love that it’s short as a firecracker yet packed with symbolism—resourcefulness, adventure, a splash of mischief—perfect for a little one destined to outsmart life’s labyrinths. No wonder the U.S. charts show Fox stalking upward from rarity in the ’90s to a solid Top-750 perch today. For moms and dads hunting for a name that’s bold, brisk, and a bit wild, Fox is ready to pounce.
