Xavian, of Latin origin, is an uncommon yet distinctive given name for males. It is derived from the Latin word "cavia," which means "rabbit." The name Xavian has gained some popularity in recent years, particularly in English-speaking countries like the United States and the United Kingdom. Despite its animal-based root, Xavian does not directly translate to any specific meaning or attribute related to rabbits. Instead, it is often considered a unique and modern-sounding name, with a stylish 'X' at the beginning that gives it a contemporary edge.
The name Xavian experienced a significant rise in popularity from the late 1980s to the early 2000s, with a steady increase in births per year from 6 in 1986 to a peak of 91 in 2023. The name's highest popularity was between 2002 and 2007, with annual births ranging from 54 to 78. Despite a slight decline after 2007, Xavian remains quite popular today, with over 70 births recorded in each of the past five years.
