Meaning and history
Xavia is a modern feminine form of Xavier. Xavier originated from the Basque place name Etxeberria or Xabier, meaning “new house.” The given name spread internationally through Saint Francis Xavier, the sixteenth-century Jesuit missionary and co-founder of the Society of Jesus. Xavia is a later English-language feminine adaptation rather than an ancient independent form. Reliable prominent real-life bearers using the exact spelling are limited.
In 2025, 27 babies were recorded with the name Xavia, ranking #4,878 among girls.
