A poet laureate is a poet officially appointed by a government or conferring institution, typically expected to compose poems for special events and occasions. Albertino Mussato of Padua and Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch) of Arezzo were the first to be crowned poets laureate after the classical age, respectively in 1315 and 1342.

Sachs is a German surname, meaning "man from Saxony" or "man from Saxon extract". The Saxons derived their name from seax, a kind of knife for which they were known. The seax has a lasting symbolic impact in the English counties of Essex and Middlesex, both of which feature three seaxes in their ceremonial emblem. Their names, along with those of Sussex and Wessex, contain a remnant of the word "Saxon". Sachs is also a common surname among Ashkenazi Jews, including many of whom resided outside of both Saxony and German lands in general. It is possible that the surname was chosen due to its similarity to the acronym for Zera Kadesh Shemo (ZaKS), a Hebrew phrase honoring the memory of martyrs.
