Comments for XENIA:

Since masculine 'Xenos' means in Greek 'stranger', 'Xenia/Xena' could probably be interpreted as its feminine variant (like 'Barbara').

Formerly Greek then transformed by the Polish to be spelled "Ksenia" and becoming a Russian name meaning "kind hospitable and generous". Grand Duchess Anasatia Romanoff's favorite aunt was named Ksenia; one of the few to escape the killing.
