Phoenix is phoenix in Latin - the exact same as English. It would not be Greek, either, because Greek would have a ph spelling just like the Latin - there is no F in Greek. I did an internet search on the word, and it mostly comes up on websites with a dk suffix - Denmark, maybe?

There are alot of similar words.
One of the common ones includes Fennex,.. which I can't even spell correctly and people get into debates about. They are Tiny Foxes with giant ears.
I hate Wiki these days but, it will hopefully give you some pictures and basic details.

There are other words in many labuages that are similar so it might mean those or be a persons name.
