Xaviera is of Spanish origin, derived from Xavier, which means "new house" or "bright". It is pronounced za-VEE-ra and rhymes with "paradise". This name gained popularity in the 20th century, likely due to its distinctive sound and its association with the Beat Generation author Xaviera Holly.
The name Xaviera experienced fluctuations in popularity over the decades, with peaks of up to 30 births recorded in 1992 and 2018. However, its usage has generally declined since the late 1990s, with fewer than 15 births per year from 1997 onwards. The total number of births recorded is 689 over this period.
