What Does the Name Xavius Mean?
Xavius is usually treated as a Latinized variant of the name Xavier. Xavier comes from the Basque place name Etxeberri, formed from etxe 'house' and berri 'new,' so its literal meaning is 'new house.' The ending -ius in Xavius is a Latin masculine suffix added to the stem Xavi-; it gives the name a classical form but does not add a separate meaning. Xavius is not the standard Latin form of Xavier, which is Xaverius. Some modern uses of Xavius may not be connected to Xavier, but when it is treated as a variant, 'new house' is the established sense.
Xavius Name History & Origins
The history of Xavius is tied to the older history of Xavier. Xavier comes from the place name Javier in Navarre, called Xabier in Basque. The family of Saint Francis Xavier (1506 - 1552) took its surname from that place, and his fame helped establish Xavier as a personal name in Europe. Latin texts used Xaverius; from it came Spanish Javier and the French and English forms Xavier. Xavius is a rarer, Latin-styled form that adds the ending -ius to Xavi-. It is familiar today from fantasy fiction, including the Warcraft series, where Xavius is a character. That modern literary use is separate from the older history of Xavier and does not by itself show how the name arose.
