Comments (Meaning / History Only)

When naming a character for the show Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, rather than looking up a preexisting name (see Xenia), the writers took inspiration from the Ancient Greek word ξενος (xenos) meaning "stranger, foreigner" to create a unique sounding name for her.
Xena could be based on the Russian name Zina, which is a diminutive of Zinaida.
