85 Girl Names That Start With X (With Meanings and Popularity)

Girl names that start with X remain an exotic, exclusive group, even though X is a red-hot letter in baby names right now. Only two X names for girls currently feature in the US Top 1000: the extravagant Spanish options Ximena and Xiomara.

Along with Ximena and Xiomara, other exotic X-starting girls' names to consider include zippy Xia, sweet Xochitl, and feisty Xanthe, which ranks in the England and Wales Top 1000 baby names for girls.

And if you're open to a spot of creative respelling, uncommon variants like Xara, Xena, and Xandra could be a simple route to that super-cool X initial — what kid wouldn't love signing off with an X?!

Here, our full selection of girl names that start with X, ordered by their current popularity on Nameberry.
