Xaiver Origin and Meaning

The name Xaiver is a boy's name.

Xaiver is a masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Xavier. The traditional name Xavier derives from the Basque place name Etxeberria, meaning 'the new house,' and gained prominence through St. Francis Xavier, a 16th-century missionary. This alternative spelling maintains the exotic appeal of the letter 'X' but switches the order of the 'i' and 'a' from the conventional spelling. While less common than Xavier, Xaiver has gained some usage in modern times, particularly among parents seeking distinctive variations of popular names. The name retains the sophisticated, international flair of Xavier while offering a subtle uniqueness through its spelling variation.
