What Does the Name Xiola Mean?
Xiola is a rare feminine given name with an uncertain meaning. It is sometimes treated as a variant of Xyla or Xylia, which are connected to the Greek word xylon, "wood," but Xiola is not a regular Greek form and the link is not securely documented. It also resembles Xola, a Xhosa name meaning "peace," but the extra i and the different language make that connection speculative. No well-attested etymology in a major language can be confirmed.
Xiola Name History & Origins
Xiola has no well-documented line of descent from an earlier name.
