What does the name Huntrix combine in KPop Demon Hunters?

The name Huntrix combines “hunter” with the Latin feminine agent-noun suffix “-trix.”

The word was designed to evoke women warriors, fitting the group’s double identity as both K-pop performers and demon hunters. In the film, Huntrix consists of Rumi, Mira and Zoey, the latest trio responsible for protecting the Honmoon.

The name also distinguishes the fictional group from real-world K-pop acts. Its construction communicates action and femininity without simply copying the naming style of an existing band. The group’s character designs were influenced by several real K-pop girl groups, including 2NE1, Blackpink, Itzy and Twice.

Huntrix is sometimes written as HUNTR/X in promotional material. Both forms refer to the same fictional group; “Huntrix” explains the wordplay behind the name, while “HUNTR/X” is a stylized presentation used in the film’s branding.
