Don't feel silly. I googled it, and scholars can't seem to agree on where the term Dixie came from. It refers to the South. One explanation is there was currency in the south called a dix or dixie. Another was a plantation called Dixie. Another had to do with the Mason-Dixon line. The term took off, though, in the folk song "Dixieland." You gotta remember that: 'Oh, I wish I was from the land of cotton, old times there are not forgotten, look away ... Dixie land."
OK, enough history.
