Meaning & usage
Germany (a country in Central Europe)
a Finnish surname
Where this word comes from
Ultimately borrowed from Old Saxon Sahso (“a Saxon, a Low German”) (a tribe/people inhabiting northern Germany, not to be confused with modern Saxony), possibly via Old Swedish saxe, ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *Sahsō. Cognate with Estonian saks (“a German”), Livonian saksā (“(a) German”). Doublet of saksa, sakset, saksi (“claw”), saksi (“Saxon”), Saksi, sax, and seax. Germans in general were identified with (Old) Saxons because contact with the German-speaking countries happened at first mainly via the Baltic Sea with people speaking Low German. The surname, which is attested since at least 1424, is a demonstration of Hanseatic trade and contacts with (Low) Germans already in the Carolingian era.
