Xavian is a modern American elaboration of Xavier, which comes from the Basque place name Etxeberria and means "new house"; the -ian ending gives it the shape of Damian or Davian. It is part of a family of X names, with Xavion and Xzavier, that grew in the 2000s. Xavian has stayed around number 2000 for years, peaked at number 1674 in 2011 and ranks number 1768 among boys' names in 2025.
