Meaning and background
The story behind Jaxx
Jaxx offers a music connection through the name Basement Jaxx. The duo’s official site identifies Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe and explains the group name’s connection with their regular club night. An electronic-music listener can therefore choose Jaxx as a compact reference to a particular act and scene. The final double x preserves that distinctive written element. This band association does not establish Jaxx as a historical form of Jack or supply a universal personal-name translation.
