Plaxy Forename Definition:

This Cornish f. is of considerable antiquity, and one cannot help but wonder how—if it really did—it came to be derived, unless it were through those influential Phoenicians, from a Greek word meaning ‘active’; ‘Swan’ (? from ‘Yonge’) doesn’t say which word, but I presume she intends πρακτική praktikë, ‘(a) busy (woman)’, probably with a glance at Greek πραξις, (praxis), ‘busyness’ or ‘business’.
