Xeno

Xeno, pronounced ZEN-oh, springs from the Greek xenos for “stranger” or “guest,” yet carries a lovable Latin flair that feels both ancient and fresh. In its roots, a nod to warm hospitality emerges, like a welcome mat rolled out in marble courtyards of old. Today, it’s an invitation to be curious, kind, and brave—a spark that lights the path to new horizons. With its smooth, two-syllable rhythm, Xeno rolls off the tongue like a friendly breeze. No nicknames needed—Xeno is already a main character. Though still rare, it’s steadily climbing the US charts, carving out a place among the most adventurous picks of the year. For parents dreaming of a son who will welcome the world with open arms, Xeno is the perfect name.
