Girl names that start with X are rare but varied, from Ximena, Xiomara, Xochitl and Xenia to Xanthe, Xiulan and Xuân, and this list of 67 gives a checked origin and meaning for every one.

X is the boldest letter you can give a daughter. It holds Greek names about hospitality and golden hair, Spanish and Nahuatl names, Chinese names built from words like dawn, snow and orchid, and names from Galician, Azerbaijani, Somali, Albanian and Vietnamese. No X name made the U.S. girls’ top 10 for 2025, according to the Social Security Administration, so any of them will stand out.

We grouped these X names for girls by origin, because the letter is said so differently in each language. Then come a pronunciation guide, gender neutral options, 13 popular names with an X inside, and quick tips for pairing and testing your favorite.

Key Takeaways

  • X names are rare in the U.S., and none is in the SSA girls’ top 10 for 2025.
  • The best-known X names for girls include Ximena, Xiomara, Xochitl, Xenia, Xena and Xanthe.
  • X is said as ks, z, s, h, sh or kh depending on the language, so choose your sound early.
  • For Chinese X names, the meaning depends on the characters chosen.
  • Names like Alexa, Roxanne and Maxine have an X inside if you want the sound without the first letter.

Girl Names That Start With X at a Glance

Quick Answer

Best-known X names for girls: Ximena, Xiomara, Xochitl, Xenia, Xena, Xanthe, Xandra, Xaviera and Xavia. Short picks include Xia, Xin, Xiu, Xue and Xela. X is one of the rarest first letters for girls’ names in the United States, and no X name is in the 2025 girls’ top 10, according to the Social Security Administration.

Every origin and meaning here was checked against the name’s own entry on Behind the Name in November 2026. Where the reference calls a meaning uncertain, we say so.

Girl names that start with X are genuinely rare in the United States, which is exactly why some parents love them. You might expect a short list. In fact, X begins names in Greek, Spanish, Nahuatl, Zapotec, Maya, Galician, Catalan, Chinese, Azerbaijani, Somali, Albanian and Vietnamese, and the letter is said differently in almost every one. This list gives 67 verified names that start with X, plus 13 popular names with an X inside, each with a checked origin and meaning.

NameOriginMeaning
XimenaSpanishFeminine form of Ximeno, a medieval Spanish or Basque name of uncertain meaning (possibly a form of Simon, or from Basque seme, “son”); the name of the wife of El Cid
XiomaraSpanishPossibly a Spanish form of Guiomar, which may come from the Germanic name Wigmar, from elements meaning “war, battle” and “famous”
XochitlNahuatl“Flower” in Nahuatl
XeniaGreek, Spanish, Ancient Greek“Hospitality” in Greek, from xenos, “foreigner, guest”; a 5th-century saint venerated in the Eastern Church
XenaPopular CultureProbably a variant of Xenia; the main character of the 1990s television series Xena: Warrior Princess
XantheGreek Mythology, Ancient GreekFrom Greek xanthos, “yellow, blond, fair-haired”; the name of a few minor figures in Greek mythology
XandraDutchShort form of Alexandra, the feminine form of Alexander (“defending men” in Greek)
XavieraEnglish (rare)Feminine form of Xavier, from the Basque place name Etxeberria, “the new house”
XaviaEnglish (rare)Modern feminine form of Xavier
The best-known X names for girls, with origins and meanings.

None of these is in the Social Security Administration (SSA) top 10 for girls born in 2025, which runs Olivia, Charlotte, Emma, Amelia, Sophia, Mia, Isabella, Evelyn, Sofia and Eliana. The SSA ranks every spelling separately, so Xochitl and Xóchitl are counted as different names. To see how often a particular X name has been given, use the Popularity of a Name search on the SSA baby names site. The SSA leaves out names given fewer than 5 times in a year, so some names on this page will not show up there at all.

A few of the most familiar names here have clear stories. Ximena was the name of the wife of El Cid, the medieval Spanish hero. Xena became widely known through the 1990s television series Xena: Warrior Princess, and Behind the Name says it is probably a variant of Xenia, “hospitality”. Xaviera and Xavia are feminine forms of Xavier, which comes from a Basque place name meaning “the new house”. For more ideas across every letter, see our main list of baby girl names.

Greek X Names: The Xanthe and Xenia Families

Greek gives English most of its X words, and it gives this list two strong name families. Xanthe comes from xanthos, “yellow, blond, fair-haired”, and Xenia from xenos, “foreigner, guest”, which turned into a word for hospitality. The table below holds their relatives and the modern Greek spellings.

NameOriginMeaning
XanthiGreekModern Greek form of Xanthe
XanthiaEnglish (rare)Modern elaborated form of Xanthe
XanthippeAncient GreekFeminine form of Xanthippos, from Greek elements meaning “yellow” and “horse”; the wife of Socrates, whose supposedly argumentative nature turned her name into a word for a scolding, ill-tempered woman
XanthippiGreekModern Greek transcription of Xanthippe
XeneLate GreekVariant of Xenia; occasionally adopted as a monastic name in the Byzantine era
XeniGreekModern Greek transcription of Xene
XenoAncient GreekFeminine form of Xenon, from Greek xenos, “foreigner, guest”
XèniaCatalanCatalan form of Xenia
XenieCzechCzech form of Xenia
Greek and Greek-derived X names for girls.

Xanthi is the modern Greek form of Xanthe, and Xanthia is a newer English elaboration that Behind the Name marks as rare. Xene, Xeni and Xeno belong to the Xenia side: Xene was occasionally taken as a monastic name in the Byzantine era, and Xeno is the feminine form of Xenon. Xènia (Catalan) and Xenie (Czech) show how far Xenia traveled.

We include Xanthippe and Xanthippi with an honest note. Xanthippe was the wife of Socrates, and because of her supposedly argumentative nature the name came to be used in English as a word for a scolding, ill-tempered woman. Some parents will love the history; others will want to skip it. For more Greek ideas, see our Greek girl names list.

Spanish, Nahuatl and Mesoamerican X Names

Several of the best-known X names come from Spanish or from Indigenous languages of Mexico and Central America. Behind the Name gives the Nahuatl pronunciation of Xochitl with a sh sound at the start, roughly SHOH-cheetl.

NameOriginMeaning
XóchitlNahuatl (Hispanicized)Spanish form of Xochitl, “flower”
XóchiltNahuatl (Hispanicized)Spanish variant form of Xochitl
XochiquetzalAztec and Toltec Mythology, NahuatlFrom Nahuatl xōchitl “flower” and quetzalli “quetzal feather, precious thing”; the Aztec goddess of love, flowers and the earth
XitlalliNahuatl (Hispanicized)Variant of Citlalli, “star” in Nahuatl
XiadaniZapotecMeaning uncertain; said to mean “the flower that arrived” in Zapotec
XquendaZapotec (feminine and masculine)From Zapotec guenda, “spirit, soul, essence”, with the possessive prefix x-
XquicMayan Mythology“Lady blood”, from Classic Maya ix “lady” and k’ik’ “blood”; in K’iche’ Maya legend, the mother of Xbalanque and Hunahpu
Nahuatl, Zapotec and Maya X names for girls.

Xochitl, “flower” in Nahuatl, is the root of a small family: Xóchitl is the Spanish form, Xóchilt is a Spanish variant, and Xochiquetzal joins the flower word to quetzalli, “quetzal feather, precious thing”. Xochiquetzal was the Aztec goddess of love, flowers and the earth. Xitlalli is a variant of Citlalli, which means “star” in Nahuatl.

The Zapotec and Maya names need careful reading. Behind the Name says the meaning of Xiadani is uncertain and that it is said to mean “the flower that arrived”, so we print it that way. Xquenda comes from a Zapotec word for “spirit, soul, essence” and is listed for both girls and boys. Xquic means “lady blood” and is the name of a mother figure in K’iche’ Maya legend. If one of these names comes from a culture outside your own family, learn how it is said and used before you commit. For more, see our Hispanic girl names and Mexican names lists.

Galician X Names: Xiana, Xoana, Xulia and Xela

In Galician, as the pronunciations on these entries show, an initial x is said as sh. That gives the language local forms of names you already know, each starting with X.

NameOriginMeaning
XianaGalicianFrom Xuliana, the Galician form of Juliana (a feminine form of the Roman name Iulianus)
XoanaGalicianGalician feminine form of John, from Hebrew, “Yahweh is gracious”
XuliaGalicianGalician form of Julia, the feminine form of the Roman family name Julius
XelaGalicianShort form of Ánxela, the Galician form of Angela
Galician X names for girls.

These names are a smart choice if you love a classic name but want a distinctive spelling with real history behind it. Xulia is the Galician Julia, Xoana is the Galician feminine form of John, and Xiana comes from Xuliana, the Galician Juliana. Xela is a short form of Ánxela, the Galician Angela. In Galician each begins with a sh sound (SHOO-lyah, shee-AH-nah). In the United States, many people will read them with a z or ks sound, so decide which you prefer before you announce the name.

Chinese X Names (and Why the Meaning Depends on the Characters)

In Mandarin pinyin, X stands for a soft sound close to sh, so many Chinese given names begin with X. A written Chinese name is made of characters, and several different characters can share one spelling in the Latin alphabet. Behind the Name lists a few common characters for each name below, and the meaning of a real person’s name depends on the characters their family chose. Treat each meaning as one common reading, not the only one.

NameOriginMeaning
XiaChineseFrom characters meaning “summer, great, grand” or “rosy clouds”, among others
XiangChineseFrom characters meaning “soar, glide”, “good luck, good omen” or “fragrant” (usually only feminine), or one referring to the Xiang River, among others
XinChineseFrom characters meaning “wealthy, prosperous” or “fresh, new”, among others
XingChineseFrom characters meaning “star, planet” or “rise, prosper”, among others
XiuChineseFrom a character meaning “luxuriant, beautiful, elegant, outstanding”, among others
XueChineseFrom characters meaning “snow” or “study, learning, school”, among others
XunChineseFrom characters meaning “meritorious deed, rank” or “fast, sudden”, among others
XinyanChineseFrom “happy, joyous, delighted” and “beautiful”; other combinations are possible
XinyiChineseFrom “happy, joyous, delighted” or “heart, mind, soul” combined with “joy, harmony”; other combinations are possible
XiulanChineseFrom “luxuriant, beautiful, elegant, outstanding” and “orchid, elegant”; other combinations are possible
XiuyingChineseFrom “luxuriant, beautiful, elegant, outstanding” and “flower, petal, brave, hero”; other combinations are possible
XiuzhenChineseFrom “luxuriant, beautiful, elegant, outstanding” and “precious, rare”; other combinations are possible
XuemeiChineseFrom “snow” and “plum, apricot”; other combinations are possible
Chinese X names for girls: one- and two-syllable names.

Many of these share a building block. Xiu means “luxuriant, beautiful, elegant, outstanding” and appears in Xiulan (with “orchid”), Xiuying (with “flower, petal”) and Xiuzhen (with “precious, rare”). Xin can mean “happy, joyous” or “fresh, new” and starts Xinyan and Xinyi. Xue can mean “snow”, which gives Xuemei, “snow” plus “plum”.

NameOriginMeaning
XiaodongChineseFrom “dawn” and “east”; other combinations are possible
XiaofengChineseFrom “dawn, morning” and “peak, summit”; other combinations are possible
XiaohongChineseFrom “dawn” and “red, vermillion, blush”; other combinations are possible
XiaohuaChineseFrom “small” or “dawn” combined with “splendid, illustrious, Chinese”; other combinations are possible
XiaohuiChineseFrom “small” or “dawn, morning” combined with “favor, benefit” or “sunlight”; other combinations are possible
XiaoliChineseFrom “dawn” combined with “beautiful, lovely” or “white jasmine”; other combinations are possible
XiaolingChineseFrom “small” or “dawn” combined with “tinkling of jade” or “spirit, soul”; other combinations are possible
XiaomeiChineseFrom “dawn, morning” or “small” combined with “plum, apricot”; other combinations are possible
XiaomingChineseFrom “dawn” and “bright, light, clear”; other combinations are possible
XiaopingChineseFrom “small” and “level, even, peaceful”; other combinations are possible
XiaotingChineseFrom “dawn” combined with “pretty, graceful” or “upright, straight”; other combinations are possible
XiaoyanChineseFrom “dawn” and “swallow (bird)”; other combinations are possible
XiaoyuChineseFrom “dawn, morning” or “small” combined with “house, eaves, universe” or “rain”; other combinations are possible
Chinese X names for girls that begin with Xiao.

The Xiao names are easy to read once you know the first syllable: Xiao is usually “dawn, morning” or “small”, and the second syllable carries the rest. Xiaomei (with “plum”), Xiaoyan (with “swallow”) and Xiaoli (with “beautiful” or “white jasmine”) are listed as feminine. Most of the others, and many of the shorter names above, are listed by Behind the Name as both feminine and masculine. For many more, see our Chinese girl names list.

International X Names: Azerbaijani, Uzbek, Somali, Albanian and Vietnamese

In Azerbaijani, X stands for a throaty kh sound (as in Xatirə), and several names here are Azerbaijani, Uzbek and Somali forms of names that English usually writes with Kh or H. The Albanian names begin with the letter pair Xh, and in Vietnamese Xuân the X is an s sound.

NameOriginMeaning
XədicəAzerbaijaniAzerbaijani form of Khadija, “premature child” in Arabic; the name of the Prophet Muhammad’s first wife
XadichaUzbekUzbek form of Khadija
XalidəAzerbaijaniAzerbaijani feminine form of Khalid, “eternal” in Arabic
XanımAzerbaijaniAzerbaijani form of Hanım, from a Turkish title meaning “lady”
XatirəAzerbaijani“Memory, remembrance” in Azerbaijani, ultimately from Arabic khāṭir, “thought, idea”
XəyaləAzerbaijaniFeminine form of Xəyal, “dream, fantasy, imagination” in Azerbaijani
XaawoSomaliSomali form of Eve, from Hebrew words meaning “to breathe” or “to live”
XafsaSomaliSomali form of Hafsa, “gathering” in Arabic
XaliimaSomaliSomali form of Halima, the feminine form of Halim, “patient, tolerant, mild” in Arabic
XhemileAlbanianAlbanian form of Jamila, the feminine form of Jamil, “beautiful” in Arabic
XhesikaAlbanianAlbanian form of Jessica, a name first used in this form by Shakespeare in The Merchant of Venice
XuânVietnamese (feminine and masculine)From Sino-Vietnamese, “spring (season)”
International X names for girls.

Several of these are local forms of Arabic names. Xədicə and Xadicha are the Azerbaijani and Uzbek forms of Khadija, the name of the Prophet Muhammad’s first wife, while Xafsa and Xaliima are Somali forms of Hafsa and Halima, and Xhemile is the Albanian Jamila (from “beautiful”). Xaawo is the Somali form of Eve. If you like these, our Arabic girl names list has many more.

Others are word names with lovely meanings. Xatirə means “memory, remembrance” in Azerbaijani and Xəyalə comes from Xəyal, “dream, fantasy, imagination”. Xuân, “spring (season)”, is Vietnamese and works for girls and boys; you can find more in our Vietnamese names guide. Print the special letters exactly as spelled (Xədicə, Xanım, Xatirə, Xóchitl, Xènia, Xuân). U.S. paperwork does not always carry accents or special characters, so check that you are comfortable with how the name may appear on forms.

Gender Neutral X Names

Behind the Name lists a good number of X names as both feminine and masculine. All of them already appear in the tables above, so here is a quick guide:

  • Chinese: Xia, Xiang, Xin, Xing, Xiu, Xue, Xun, Xinyan, Xinyi, Xiaodong, Xiaofeng, Xiaohong, Xiaohua, Xiaohui, Xiaoli, Xiaoming, Xiaoping, Xiaoting and Xiaoyu.
  • Zapotec: Xquenda, from a word for “spirit, soul, essence”.
  • Vietnamese: Xuân, “spring (season)”.
  • With an X inside: Alexis, Phoenix and Lennox (see the last table).

If you want a name that works on any child, Xing (“star, planet” is one reading), Xue (“snow” is one reading) and Xuân (“spring”) are short, bright choices. See our gender neutral names guide for more.

How to Say X Names: One Letter, Many Sounds

Here is the detail most X lists skip. The letter X makes at least six different sounds across the names on this page: ks in Greek, z in English, s or a throaty h in Spanish, sh in Nahuatl, Galician and Catalan, a soft sh-like sound in Mandarin, and a throaty kh in Azerbaijani. The table uses the pronunciation printed on each name’s Behind the Name entry (mostly in the International Phonetic Alphabet), with a plain English hint.

NamePronunciationQuick hint
Xanthe/ksan.tʰɛ̌ː/ (Classical Greek)Greek X is a ks sound
Xanthippe/zæn.ˈtɪp.i/ (English)English speakers usually start with z
Xeni/ˈkse.ni/ (Greek)KSEH-nee
Xena/ˈziː.nə/ (English)ZEE-nuh
Xenia/ˈse.nja/ (Spanish)SEH-nyah in Spanish
Ximena/xi.ˈme.na/ (Spanish)The x is a throaty h sound: hee-MEH-nah
Xiomara/sjo.ˈma.ɾa/ (Spanish)Starts with an s sound: syoh-MAH-rah
Xochitl/ˈʃoː.t͡ʃitɬ/ (Nahuatl)Starts with sh: SHOH-cheetl
Xóchitl/ˈso.t͡ʃitl/ or /ˈʃo.t͡ʃitl/ (Spanish)Said with an s or a sh at the start
Xochiquetzal/ʃoː.t͡ʃi.ˈket.saɬ/ (Nahuatl)shoh-chee-KET-sahl, roughly
Xiana, Xulia/ʃi.ˈa.nɐ/, /ˈʃu.ljɐ/ (Galician)Galician x is a sh sound
Xènia/ˈʃɛ.ni.ə/ (Catalan)Catalan x is also sh
Xandra/ˈsɑn.draː/ or /ˈksɑn.draː/ (Dutch)Starts with s or ks
Xia, Xue/ɕja/, /ɕɥɛ/ (Mandarin)A soft sound close to sh
Xatirə/χɑː.ti.ˈræ/ (Azerbaijani)Azerbaijani x is a throaty kh
Xuân/swən/ (Vietnamese)Vietnamese x is an s sound
How X names are said, per Behind the Name.

Two practical tips. First, decide which sound you want and tell family early, because many English speakers read an initial X as z (as in the English pronunciation of Xena) unless told otherwise. Second, expect to spell and pronounce an X name for new teachers and coaches, and have a short, friendly way to explain it ready.

Names With X Inside (Not Starting With X)

These names do not start with X, but many parents who search for X names really want the crisp sound of an X somewhere in the name. Each one below is a verified feminine or unisex entry, and we have kept them separate from the X list above so the count stays honest.

NameOriginMeaning
AlexaEnglish, German, HungarianShort form of Alexandra
AlexandraEnglish, German, Greek, Russian and many moreFeminine form of Alexander, “defending men” in Greek; also an epithet of the goddess Hera
AlexisFrench, English, Greek, Spanish, Ancient Greek (feminine and masculine)From the Greek name Alexis, “helper” or “defender”, from alexo, “to defend, to help”
AlexiaGreek, French, Spanish, English (modern)Feminine form of Alexis
LexiEnglishDiminutive of Alexandra or Alexis
RoxanaEnglish, Spanish, Romanian, Ancient Greek (Latinized)Latin form of a Greek name from an Old Iranian word meaning “bright, shining”; the name of Alexander the Great’s first wife
RoxanneEnglish, FrenchVariant of Roxane, the French and English form of Roxana
RoxieEnglishDiminutive of Roxana
MaxineEnglishFeminine elaboration of Max; commonly used only since the beginning of the 20th century
BeatrixGerman, Hungarian, Dutch, English, Late RomanProbably from Viatrix, a feminine form of the Latin name Viator, “voyager, traveler”, with the spelling altered by Latin beatus, “blessed, happy”
TrixieEnglishDiminutive of Beatrix
PhoenixEnglish (modern; feminine and masculine)From the name of a beautiful immortal bird of Egyptian and Greek mythology that rises from its own ashes
LennoxEnglish (modern; feminine and masculine)From a Scottish surname taken from a district whose Gaelic name possibly means “place of elms”
Popular girl names with an X inside, which do not start with X.

The Alexander family supplies most of these: Alexandra, Alexa, Alexia, Alexis and Lexi all trace back to Greek words for defending and helping. Roxana, Roxanne and Roxie come from an Old Iranian word meaning “bright, shining”. Beatrix and Trixie link back to Viatrix, “voyager, traveler”, and Maxine is a feminine elaboration of Max. Phoenix and Lennox, both listed for girls and boys, end with the X sound.

Sibling, Middle Name and Quick Tests

An X name makes a bold first name and an unexpected middle name. A few pairing ideas, all from names on this page:

  • Xochitl and Xiadani (two flower names)
  • Xanthe and Xenia (two Greek classics)
  • Xue and Xuemei (snow and snow plum)
  • Xatirə and Xəyalə (memory and dream, both Azerbaijani)
  • Xiana and Xulia (both Galician)
  • Xing and Xitlalli (two star names, in Chinese and Nahuatl)

For middle names, an X name can carry the surprise while a familiar first name does the daily work, or the other way around. Short X names like Xia, Xin or Xue balance a long first name; a long X name like Xochiquetzal or Xiomara pairs well with a one-syllable middle. Our middle names guide has more pairing ideas.

Before you decide, run four quick tests. Write out the initials and make sure they do not spell anything you would rather avoid. Say the full name across a room in the sound you have chosen. Spell it out loud as you would for a receptionist, since X names will often need spelling. And look up the name’s own entry so you can explain its meaning with confidence. If you are also weighing other rare letters, see our lists of girl names that start with Z and girl names that start with V.

The Bottom Line

X is one of the rarest first letters for girls’ names, but it is not a short list. It holds Greek classics like Xanthe and Xenia, Spanish favorites like Ximena and Xiomara, the Nahuatl flower name Xochitl, Galician forms like Xulia and Xiana, dozens of Chinese names, and names from Azerbaijani, Somali, Albanian and Vietnamese. Pick the sound you want, check the meaning, and say it out loud for a week.

If an X name still makes you smile after that, it is a good name, and one your daughter is unlikely to share with many classmates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some girl names that start with X?

Well-known girl names that start with X include Ximena, Xiomara, Xochitl, Xenia, Xena, Xanthe, Xandra, Xaviera and Xiana. Short options include Xia, Xin, Xiu and Xue, and rarer picks include Xitlalli, Xiadani, Xatirə and Xuân. Behind the Name lists origins from Greek, Spanish, Nahuatl, Galician, Chinese, Azerbaijani, Somali and more.

How do you pronounce Ximena?

Behind the Name gives the Spanish pronunciation of Ximena with a throaty h sound at the start, roughly hee-MEH-nah. It is the feminine form of Ximeno and was the name of the wife of El Cid. Many English speakers say it with a z or ks sound, so it helps to tell family and teachers how you say it.

Is Xena a real name?

Yes. Behind the Name lists Xena as a feminine name and says it is probably a variant of Xenia, which means hospitality in Greek. It became widely known through the 1990s television series Xena: Warrior Princess. In English it is pronounced ZEE-nuh, while Xenia itself is said differently in Greek and Spanish.

What does Xochitl mean?

Xochitl means flower in Nahuatl. In Nahuatl it begins with a sh sound, roughly SHOH-cheetl. Xóchitl, with an accent, is the Spanish form, and Xóchilt is a Spanish variant. The related name Xochiquetzal combines the word for flower with a word for quetzal feather or precious thing.

What are short girl names that start with X?

Short X names for girls include Xia, Xin, Xiu, Xue, Xun, Xing, Xena, Xela, Xeni, Xene and Xeno. The Chinese names are listed for both girls and boys, and their meanings depend on the characters used: Xue can mean snow, Xing can mean star or planet, and Xia can mean summer or rosy clouds.

Are X names unisex?

Many are. Behind the Name lists Chinese names such as Xia, Xin, Xing, Xiu, Xue, Xun, Xinyi and most Xiao names, along with the Zapotec name Xquenda and the Vietnamese name Xuân, as both feminine and masculine. Names with an X inside, such as Alexis, Phoenix and Lennox, are also listed for both.
