Baby names that start with X are going to be a rare few. The good news is that Spanish offers a few select choices for baby names that start with this rare beginning letter. While it may seem confusing to say a lot of these names, an “x” in Spanish will usually sound similar to how a “z” sounds in English.
Xavier is a Basque-derived name that means “bright” and would make a great name for a boy, especially if you wish for them to nudge them towards high-level academics down the line. Additionally, Xóchilt is another name for a boy that means “flower” which might seem a bit odd, but we find it quite charming!
There are two Spanish names for girls that start with X as well. Ximena is a feminized version of the Spanish “son” which in this case ultimately means “daughter” making it a good all-purpose name.
Another great name is Xiomara. Xiomara is a feminized version of the name Guiomar that means “famous in battle.” This might be a good name if you are anticipating a daughter that is a bit more on the combative side.
