History
An anglicized form of French Mâcon, from earlier Mascon and Medieval Latin Masconis, a syncopated form of Madasconis and Matisco, probably from Gaulish matus (“bear”) and a suffix equivalent to -iscus (“-ish: forming adjectives”).
Named in honor of Nathaniel Macon.
Named after French Mâcon, due to the West German team's highly successful performance at the 1959 European Rowing Championships which took place there; attributed in part to their use of macon blades.
Blend of mutton + bacon.
