Things to Know About This Name
- The double-x spelling is unmistakably a reference to Jimi Hendrix, which is cool for music fans but may feel like a celebrity tribute rather than a traditional name
The Story of Hendrixx
Hendrixx is a creative respelling of Hendrix, itself the Dutch/Flemish patronymic form of Hendrik (the Dutch form of Henry), meaning 'home ruler' or 'ruler of the household' from the Germanic 'Heimrich.' The double-x at the end is a clear nod to guitarist Jimi Hendrix, making it both a traditional Germanic name and a bold musical tribute in one package.
Hendrix as a given name took off in the 2000s-2010s, driven by the enduring cultural iconography of Jimi Hendrix and the broader trend of using rock star surnames as first names. The double-x variant Hendrixx adds extra edge and visual distinctiveness to an already bold choice.
Jimi Hendrix fundamentally changed electric guitar playing — giving a child this name is a declaration of musical values and a tribute to one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. Rock music surname names (Lennon, Jagger, Morrison, Hendrix) form an entire micro-trend in baby naming.
