Daxx is English, Latin in Origin.
Daxx is a modern English given name, a stylized double‑x variant of Dax. Dax traces to the French place‑name Dax in Gascony (Gascon Dacs), famed since Roman times for thermal waters; the toponym ultimately continues Latin Aquae Tarbellicae, “waters of the Tarbelli.” A secondary line of influence may be the German surname Dachs (“badger”), simplified in English to Dax, though this is less certain.
Used as a first name in the United States from the late 20th century, Dax gained visibility through actor Dax Shepard and the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine character Dax, then rode the wider rise of -x endings. Daxx remains the rarer spelling. Related forms and elaborations include Dax and Daxton (also Daxten/Daxtyn), while Dex belongs to a different root (Dexter). Meanings offered in baby-name sources range from “from Dax” to a folk “leader,” but the historical sense aligns best with the spa-town association of waters.
