Saxe Origin and Meaning

The name Saxe is a boy's name.

Saxe is a masculine name with Germanic and Nordic roots, derived from the Old German tribal name 'Sachsen' referring to the Saxons. Historically, it appears as both a surname and place name, notably in Saxe-Coburg, a German duchy with royal connections. The name carries aristocratic associations due to its use in European royal houses. Saxe has a strong, concise sound with its single syllable and distinctive 'x' sound. While uncommon as a first name, it offers appeal for those seeking a name with historical depth and a contemporary feel. Its brevity and unique sound profile distinguish it from more common Germanic names while still connecting to Northern European heritage.
