Xavian

Xavian is a modern elaboration associated with Xavier, a name whose Basque place-name root means new house. Xavier became internationally familiar through Saint Francis Xavier, who took his name from his birthplace. Xavian reshapes that recognizable beginning with an -ian ending rather than preserving the older form exactly.

The result has a three-syllable rhythm similar to several established names ending in -ian, while the initial X gives it a distinctive appearance. Xavion is a nearby spelling used for much the same contemporary form. Families choosing Xavian through Xavier can retain the new-house connection, but it is most precise to describe it as an adaptation of that name rather than an independently ancient Basque word.
