Meaning and history
This name comes from the term for the southern United States, which Daniel D. Emmett used in his 1859 song Dixie. The term may derive from French dix, meaning “ten,” as printed on ten-dollar bills issued by a New Orleans bank, or from the Mason-Dixon Line, the boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland.
