Dixie is associated with the meaning “Southern United States region or tenth” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
Dixie is an American-born name with no single ancient root. It most likely derives from the word "Dixie," a nickname for the Southern United States, which itself traces back to the French word "dix," meaning "ten." This referred to ten-dollar bank notes issued in Louisiana before the Civil War.
