    Name Meaning

    English:

    nickname, perhaps for someone quick to take offense and draw his sword, or for an instructor in swordsmanship, from Middle English sakespey ‘draw sword’ (Old French sacquespee, from sacque(r) ‘to draw, extract’ + espee ‘sword’).

    habitational name from either of two places called Saxby (Leicestershire, Lincolnshire). The Lincolnshire placename derives from the Old Norse personal name Saxi (see Sax 3) + Old Norse ‘farmstead, village’, while the Leicestershire placename may arise from Old English Seaxe ‘the Saxons’ (genitive plural Seaxna) + Old Norse , or may have the same etymology as the Lincolnshire placename.
