Xavior Origin and Meaning

The name Xavior is a boy's name.

Xavior is a masculine name that represents a spelling variation of Xavier. The traditional Xavier derives from the Basque place name Etxeberria, meaning 'new house,' and gained prominence through St. Francis Xavier, a 16th-century Spanish missionary. This alternative spelling maintains the distinctive 'X' beginning that makes the name stand out while potentially simplifying pronunciation for English speakers. Xavior remains less common than Xavier but follows the trend of parents seeking unique spellings of established names. The name carries connotations of spiritual dedication and scholastic achievement due to its saintly associations and the prestigious Xavier universities. Common nicknames include Xavi and X.
