Feliks

Boy name · 4 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Feliks: 4 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2017.

Feliks is the Polish, Scandinavian, and Russian form of Felix, a Latin name meaning “happy” or “lucky.” Notable bearers include the Polish-born painter and muralist Feliks Topolski, whose energetic works captured mid-20th-century Britain, and Feliks Zemdegs, the Australian speedcuber who dominated Rubik’s Cube competitions. The English seaside town Felixstowe shares the same root via Saint Felix, though its name originally meant “Felix’s place of worship.” Feliks has a crisp, international feel that sets it slightly apart from the more common Felix—a subtle choice for parents who want a familiar yet distinctive name with cheerful associations and a strong Nordic and Eastern European heritage.
