The name Xaviel is a unique and modern variant of the more commonly known name Xavier. Pronounced as ZAY-vee-el (/ˈzeɪviəl/), it retains a distinctive and sophisticated charm. Xaviel is predominantly used for boys and has its roots in Spanish origin, where it means "new house" or "bright." Although not widely popular, as reflected by its sporadic occurrences in the United States—ranging from 5 to 10 newborns per year over the past few decades—it remains an appealing choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet elegant name. The rarity of Xaviel makes it a standout option that carries both historical significance and contemporary appeal, offering a fresh twist on a classic favorite.
