Meaning & Origin
A male given name.
Zavier is a boy's and girl's baby name of Arabic origin, a variant spelling of Xavier, from the Basque place name Etxeberri meaning "new house," famously associated with Saint Francis Xavier, the 16th-century Jesuit missionary who spread Christianity across Asia.
The Z spelling gives Xavier a more distinctive, modern look while preserving the same powerful historical and spiritual legacy. Saint Francis Xavier's extraordinary missionary journeys across India, Japan, and Southeast Asia make this a name of global reach and adventurous faith.
