Xavior

Xavior is an English spelling variant of Xavier, a name derived from the Basque place name Etxeberria, meaning new house or new home. The place name became a personal name through Saint Francis Xavier, the sixteenth-century Spanish Jesuit missionary renowned for his evangelizing work in Asia. The altered spelling Xavior reflects phonetic respelling in English-speaking contexts. Related forms include Xavier, Javier, and Saverio.
