Dixi as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Dixi

What is the meaning of the name Dixi ?

Dixi is English in Origin.

Dixi is a modern given name with several plausible roots. In English it is most often a streamlined respelling of Dixie, a name tied to the American South and sometimes explained through the French word dix, "ten," printed on Louisiana banknotes; other accounts connect it to the Mason-Dixon line. In classical Latin, dixi means "I have said," a crisp, declarative perfect tense that can suggest finality or confidence. In South Asia, Dixi may also reflect a contemporary spelling of Dixa/Diksha, from Sanskrit diksha, "initiation, consecration."

As a personal name, Dixie gained currency in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States; Dixi itself remains far rarer and feels more modern and international. Common variants and related forms include Dixie, Dixy, Dixa, and Diksha. Nicknames or short forms include Dix and Dee. Predominantly feminine in English usage.
