Etymology:
Eryxo (𝖦𝗋𝖾𝖾𝗄: Ερυξώ, 𝗋𝗈𝗆𝖺𝗇𝗂𝗓𝖾𝖽: Eryxó) is an Ancient Greek unisex name of unknown meaning; it is derived from the masculine name Eryx ( Ἔρυξ, Éryx), which is of unknown origin, combined with the neuter noun-forming suffix -ο (-ó). The first element is likely derived from ἐρύκω (eryko), meaning “to restrain, keep in, curb, hold back”, though it may also be related to the verb ἐρεύγομαι (ereúgomai), meaning “to spit out; to belch, disgorge; to discharge; to bellow, roar, shout”; itself derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *h₁rewg-, meaning “to belch; to roar”.
