The surname Saxby has its origins in medieval England. It is derived from the Old Norse personal name "Sakse," which means "Saxon" or "sword." The name was originally used as a nickname for someone who displayed characteristics associated with the Saxons, such as bravery or a fierce temperament. Over time, this nickname developed into a hereditary surname.

In regards to its Irish descent, the surname Saxby was introduced to Ireland during the Viking invasions of the 9th and 10th centuries. The Vikings, who were of Scandinavian origin, established settlements along the Irish coast, including in areas such as Dublin, Waterford, and Wexford.

As the Vikings interacted with the local Irish population, intermarriage became common. This led to the assimilation of Viking surnames, such as Saxby, into Irish culture. In Ireland, the surname Saxby became anglicized over time, with variations such as Sakesby and Saxonby being recorded.

It is important to note that while the surname Saxby has Irish origins, it is not exclusively Irish. The surname can also be found in England, Scotland, and other parts of the British Isles. The distribution of the Saxby surname in Ireland today is relatively low, suggesting that the name may have been less prevalent in comparison to other surnames of Viking origin.
