Hi, I wondered if anyone knew the Greek word for night, or Godess of the night. I found in a baby name search the word Nyx (which was defined as the above) but have not been able to find it in a Greek dictionary at all. I can find nux, though, is this the same word?
Which is more correct, & how should it be pronounced?
Should is sound like "nix" in English, or "nux" or "noox" ?

Much appreciated! :-)
