Eryx is an unusual and distinctive given name, believed to have origins in Greek mythology. It's derived from the Greek word 'erux', which means 'to rise' or 'to climb'. In Greek mythology, Eryx was a king who gave his name to Mount Eryx, also known as Monte San Giuliano, in Sicily.
"Eryx experienced a significant surge in popularity from 2021 onwards, with the number of births more than doubling from 14 to 21 between those years alone. However, prior to this, there was considerable inconsistency in its usage, with birth counts fluctuating annually between 5 and 9."
