Meaning:*
This name derives from the Latin “decem, meaning “ten”, from the Proto-Indo-European “*déḱm̥t”. Cognates include Ancient Greek déka ‎(δέκα). Decimus is a Latin praenomen or personal name, usually abbreviated D. Although never especially common, Decimus was used throughout Roman history from the earliest times to the end of the Western Empire and beyond, surviving into modern times. The Latin personal name “Decimus”, means “the tenth born or born in December”, which was originally given to the tenth child of the family or the tenth or youngest between ten members of the same family of the same name. The notes were known as “Dixies” by English-speaking southerners, and the area around New Orleans and the French-speaking parts of Louisiana came to be known as “Dixieland.” Eventually, usage of the term broadened to refer to the Southern states in general. a) The word preserves the name of a “Mr. Dixy,” where slavery was legal until 1827. His rule was so kind that “Dixy’s Land” became famed far and wide as an Elysium abounding in material comforts. b) “Dixie” derives from Jeremiah Dixon, a surveyor of the Mason-Dixon Line, which defined the border between Maryland and Pennsylvania.
