There are two answers to this question...

UNIX is a trade name of the open group.
For the open group to let you call your product UNIX you must meet a standard of quality and a basic set of commands.

but in a more general use of the word, unix is a multi-user OS based on the design of multics from AT&T back in 1960's

A large measure of what makes an OS unix it not so much what it is, its more where it draws its history from.
