[ˈlɛnəks]

Meaning

Background Story

Lennox comes from a Scottish surname derived from the name of a Scottish district, called Leamhnachd in Gaelic, which possibly means "place of elms". The English form descends from Middle English Levenax, from Scottish Gaelic Leamhnach, "inhabitant of Lennox", itself from Leamhain, "Leven", plus -ach. The name steadily rose in popularity in the 2000s, at the same time as the similar-sounding but unrelated names Lennon and Knox.
