What Does the Name Nyxon Mean?
Nyxon is a spelling variant of the English surname and given name Nixon, meaning "son of Nicholas." Nixon is a patronymic formed from the Middle English pet form Nicke, a short form of Nicholas, plus -son. Nicholas derives from Greek Nikolaos, from nikē ("victory") and laos ("people"), so the older name means "victory of the people." The spelling Nyxon does not change that derivation; its opening letters are not a reference to the Greek goddess Nyx ("night").
