Jaxxon is a modern stylized spelling of Jackson, an English patronymic meaning son of Jack. Jack is a medieval nickname for John, which derives from Hebrew Yochanan, meaning God is gracious or Yahweh has shown favor. Jackson as a surname entered American consciousness through political and musical fame.

The Jackson spelling has been a popular boys' name in the U.S. The Jaxxon variant with double-x appeared in the 2010s as parents sought visual distinction within the extremely popular Jackson sound family. It reflects the broader American naming pattern of using repeated or unusual consonant clusters for personalization.

★Jaxxon (1978–present)
Jaxxon is a fictional Lepi smuggler — a species of green anthropomorphic rabbit — in the Star Wars universe, created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Howard Chaykin for Marvel's Star Wars #8 (published February 1978); the character was named as a nod to Bugs Bunny, who in classic 1940s cartoons often nicknamed strangers 'Jackson.' He first appeared alongside Han Solo in one of the franchise's earliest Expanded Universe adventures, making him one of the first characters created outside the original Star Wars films. Initially part of the non-canonical Legends continuity, Jaxxon was formally restored to official Star Wars canon around 2019 through the Star Wars Adventures comic series, and received a dedicated action figure in the Black Series line, cementing his cult status among fans.
