ArchivesRe: Nox - Dutch roots?
in reply to a message by Amandine
By making a quick Google search in Dutch, I could find three different theories:
1. A direct derivation from the Roman name.
2. A variant of Knox.
3. A short form of Lennox, which seems plausible, since Lennox has somewhat risen in popularity in modern times.

Unfortunately, the Nederlandse Voornamenbank doesn't provide the meaning of Nox, so I had to get the theories from baby name websites.
