The name Xol is a boy's name meaning "peace; sun; canine".

With its cool, spikey first initial and its punchy three letter beginning, Xol entered the US stats in 2024 when it was given to five boys. It is likely based on Solomon short form Sol ("peace"), Spanish word name Sol ("sunny"), or a short form of Aztec god name, Xolotl. 

The name Xol peaked for boys at #14133 in 2024.
