Meaning & History
This name is possibly a combination of Xavier with a Hebrew name ending in -iel, such as Gabriel. However, given the fact that this name has been around in the Spanish-speaking world since at least the 18th century, it could also be an independent name of its own (in which case its etymology is unknown), as combining names in that manner generally seems to be a fairly modern phenomenon in the Spanish-speaking world.A known bearer of this name was the Asturian (Spanish) writer Xaviel Vilareyo (1967-2015).
