The "Dix" story is apocryphal, and stories abound.

For some reason presently unknown to me (Early onset Alzheimer's, perhaps?),
I was under the impression that the origin of the term came from Messrs.
Mason
and Dixon and their famous survey line.

Apparently the term was not in use until the song.
