De straat is vernoemd naar de buitenplaats Saxenburg. Daarnaast lag de pottenbakkerij van Richard van Opoeter, die benodigdheden voor de suikerindustrie maakte. De vele suikerraffinaderijen in Amsterdam waren vaste afnemers van de pottenbakkerij. In 1776 nam een veertiental suikerfabrikanten deel aan de oprichting van de Sociëteit der Pottenbakkerij aan den Overtoom. Later zou de directeur, Bas van Heijningen, korte tijd op Saxenburg gaan wonen.
