Xenophon
Meaning of Xenophon
Originating from Greek, the name Xenophon is typically given to male babies. It is pronounced as ZEE-nuh-fon (/ziːnəfən/). Another variation of this name is Xenofon. Although not as popular in recent years, Xenophon has been used as a given name in the United States since at least the early 20th century. The most notable association with this name is the Greek historian and philosopher, Xenophon, who lived during the 4th century BC. He was known for his writings on history, politics, and military strategy. Choosing Xenophon as a baby name can be an homage to this influential figure from ancient Greece.
