Lynx, derived from Latin 'lynx,' meaning ' sélectionné.' The name is of American origin, inspired by the wild cat species known for its keen eyesight. Lynx gained popularity in the late 20th century, perhaps influenced by the popular video game 'Mega Man X' character named after this swift and agile feline.
"From 2008 to 2023, the name Lynx saw a significant increase in popularity, with births more than doubling from 7 in 2008 to 55 in 2023. The highest recorded year was 2022 with 53 births."
