Shaxon in my family tree
Shaxon does not appear in the standard reference books. However, [MacLysaght] gives the derivation of Saxon as an anglicization of Erse Ó Seachnasach descendant of Seachnasach (A name perhaps meaning "elusive".) As the Irish name is pronounced O'Shaunessy, Shaxon could be derived in a similar manner. Alternately, the name might be a patronymic from a name such as *Shack.
