What does the name Xzavier mean?
Xzavier is a spelling of Xavier, pronounced the same way, so it shares Xavier's meaning and origin.
Xavier comes from the surname of Saint Francis Xavier, the 16th-century Jesuit missionary, who took it from his family's castle at Javier (Xabier in Basque) in Navarre, northern Spain. The place name is Basque etxe berri, 'new house', which also gave the surname Echeverría. Catholic families began naming sons after the saint, and Spanish Javier is the same name. English speakers say ZAY-vee-er or ig-ZAY-vee-er.
