Xaverie
Xaverie Origin and Meaning
Xaverie is a feminine name derived from Xavier, which itself comes from the Basque place name Etxeberria, meaning 'the new house.' Most famously associated with St. Francis Xavier, the 16th-century missionary, the name carries religious significance for many Catholic families.
This feminine form is particularly popular in French-speaking regions and parts of Eastern Europe. Pronounced zah-veh-REE or ex-AV-er-ee depending on the language context, Xaverie maintains the distinctive 'X' initial while adding a delicate ending appropriate for feminine usage.
The name projects strength and uniqueness with its uncommon first letter, yet remains connected to historical tradition. Though virtually unknown in the US, Xaverie appeals to parents seeking a rare name with historical depth and cross-cultural recognition.
