Meaning and origin

Phoenix means Dark red / purplish-red (from Greek phoinix); by extension, the name of the mythological immortal bird reborn from its own ashes.

Belongs to the modern "mythology/word name" category in English-speaking usage: parents choose it primarily for its symbolic association with rebirth and resilience rather than for any inherited family or ethnic naming tradition, and it is used for both boys and girls.
