What is the origin of the shoe shop's name 'Saxone'?

According to Brewer's Dictionary of Names, "Saxone" was the name given to a footwear company formed in 1908, which came into being as the result of two companies merging - one English, one Scottish. The similarity to the word Saxon was designed to emphasise strength and ruggedness

Saxone, the shoe shop chain gets its name from a shock football result many decades ago, when Kilmarnock (of whom the Scottish founder of the chain, then just one market stand, was a keen supporter) beat Glasgow Rangers 6-1 (in Scots, sax-one) The shop name pronunciation has changed now to 'sax-own'. This, commonly believed to be a myth, appears to be strange but true.
