Meaning & History

The name of a heroic figure in the Gaulish comic book series titled Astérix (originally Astérix in French), which first appeared in 1959. It is a play on words derived from the French term astérisque, which translates to "asterisk, little star". However, the name concludes with the Gaulish suffix rix, signifying "king," similar to the historical figure Vercingetorix. In the series, the names of all male Gauls end humorously with the -ix suffix.
