The trade name, Ennex, was coined by Marshall Burns in 1975 by combining the English letters n and x. In ordinary high school algebra, the letter n is commonly used to represent a given, known, quantity. Similarly, x is usually used for an unknown. Together, the letters n and x are intended to represent the infinite potential available from combining what is known with what is not yet known, from combining knowledge with imagination. This is the meaning of Ennex.
