https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixie_tube :

"The name Nixie was derived by Burroughs from "NIX I", an abbreviation 
of "Numeric Indicator eXperimental No. 1",[6] although this may have 
been a backronym designed to evoke a mythical creature. Hundreds of 
variations of this design were manufactured by many firms, from the 
1950s until the 1990s. The Burroughs Corporation introduced "Nixie" and 
owned the name Nixie as a trademark. Nixie-like displays made by other 
firms had trademarked names including Digitron, Inditron and Numicator. 
A proper generic term is cold cathode neon readout tube, though the 
phrase Nixie tube quickly entered the vernacular as a generic name."
