[edit] Etymology

From Middle English *Saxon, Saxoun, from Old French *Saxoun, Saxon ("Saxon"), from Late Latin Saxonem, accusative of Saxo ("a Saxon"), from West Germanic *Sahsô, probably originally a derivative of Proto-Germanic *sahsan ("rock, knife"), from Proto-Indo-European *sÁk-, *sek- ("to cut"). Cognate with Middle Low German Sasse ("someone speaking Saxon, i.e. (Middle) Low German"), Old English Seaxa ("a Saxon"), Old High German Sahso ("a Saxon"), Icelandic Saxi ("a Saxon"), Old English seax ("a knife, hip-knife, an instrument for cutting, a short sword, dirk, dagger"). More at sax.
