Helix

Meaning of Helix

Helix is a unique and modern name for boys, pronounced as HEE-liks. The name Helix has its roots in the Greek word "helix," which means spiral or twist, often associated with the intricate structure of DNA, symbolizing complexity and life itself. This scientific connotation gives the name a contemporary and intellectual flair. While not widely common, Helix has seen a steady but modest use in the United States over the past decade, reflecting its appeal to parents seeking an unconventional yet meaningful name for their child. The alternate spelling "Heliks" offers a slight variation while maintaining the same distinctive sound and essence.
