What Does the Name Xaveria Mean?
Xaveria is a feminine form of the Latinized name Xaverius, which comes from the Basque place name Etxeberria, meaning 'the new house.' The Basque elements are etxe ('house') and berri ('new'), with the article -a. The place name passed into Spanish as Javier, with the older spelling Xavier, and was Latinized as Xaverius. Xaveria adds the Latin feminine ending -a, so its literal sense is 'new house' or 'of the new house.' The occasional gloss 'bright' is a later interpretation, not the Basque etymology.
Xaveria Name History & Origins
Xaveria belongs to the family of names formed from the Basque place name Etxeberria. The place is now Javier in Navarre, Spain; the older Spanish spelling Xavier was Latinized as Xaverius. Saint Francis Xavier (1506 - 1552), who was born at the castle of Javier, bore the surname, and Latin writers called him Franciscus Xaverius. From that Latin form came the feminine Xaveria, with the Latin feminine ending -a. In German-speaking Catholic regions the masculine given name Xaver is traditional, and Xaveria is its feminine counterpart. Spanish and Portuguese use the related feminine Javiera or Xaviera, while Xaveria itself is a rare Latin-derived form.
