Meaning & Origin
A female given name from Ancient Greek of mainly historical use in English.
Xenia is a girl's baby name of Greek origin, from the Greek xenia meaning 'hospitality' or 'welcome to strangers' — derived from xenos ('stranger, guest, foreigner').
Xenia was a sacred virtue in ancient Greece — the obligation to be generous and hospitable to strangers. It's also the name of a city in Ohio, and the fierce assassin Xenia Onatopp in the James Bond film GoldenEye gave it an action-hero edge. Rare and beautiful, with a strong X opening.
