Origin

Daxon is a modern English-origin name which appears to be a variant or composite of the name Dax, combined with the suffix '-on' to give it a unique sound.

Daxon does not have historical mentions in ancient texts but has gained popularity in contemporary English-speaking countries, including Australia, as a distinctive and modern name.
