The story
Lennox is a Scottish earldom, a district whose name is traditionally read through the elms that grew there, and it carried centuries of aristocratic weight before boxing and pop music made it familiar again. Its American curve idled for a hundred years, never past 130 in a decade, then moved hard: about 650 in the 2000s, 8,200 in the 2010s, and 10,500 so far this decade, already past the full 2010s. The interesting turn is who gets it. Girls first register in the 1990s, five of them; this decade the split runs about one girl for every three boys, 2,800 to 7,800, a name genuinely in motion between the columns. The X ending does the modern work, as it does for Knox and Jax, while the earldom underneath keeps it from feeling invented. Elms, earls, a heavyweight and a singer: the name arrives well accompanied.

The count never rose above 4 in a year, too few to chart.
First names given to children born in Poland by year of birth, 2000–2025, from the PESEL population register (Ministry of Digital Affairs); exact spellings count separately (Łukasz and Lukasz are different names), names given fewer than 5 times in a year were left off the list through 2012 and fewer than 2 times from 2013, and the register also counts children born abroad, so its yearly sums run above Poland’s live births. Shares divide by the register’s own published total for the year, never by births. Source: Ministry of Digital Affairs, PESEL register (dane.gov.pl)
Not on the record in Puerto Rico: that registry withholds small counts, so rare uses may sit below its floor.
Not on the Chile record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 5 registrations in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Montevideo record for 1940 to 2011: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years. Not on the France record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 20 births in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on Norway’s list: Statistics Norway lists only first names carried by 200 or more living people, so rarer names are not shown.
