UNIX is an operating system developed by Bell Labs. At that time, the Unix system was still widely used.
As a result, Bell Labs licensed the source code of UNIX to some research institutions.
This has led to the development of numerous Unix variants based on UNIX source code. Such as the well-known BSD system.
AIX is also such a Unix variant.
Linux, on the other hand, has nothing to do with UNIX in the source code. The original code was completed by Linus and his team.
