Comments for the name Xenia

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

Xenia Seeburg played the character Xev Bellringer of B3K on the science-fiction TV show "Lexx".

I know several Russian people with this name, and they pronounce it Ks-ey-nee-uh. Somewhat better-sounding in my ears.

Xenia was the name of one of Tsar Nicholas's sisters.

Xenia´s pet forms are Xenie, Xenin(k)a, Nina, Xenushe. Pronounced as: "Ksenia".

It´s also the Czech and Slovak form. Pronounced as "Ksenya".
Name Day: 27th November (in the Czechia).

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.

I've known two Greek Xenias and they've both pronounced it Zen-ya.

An Anglicized version of this name, used in Australia, is Kesenya or Kasenya. Taken from the Russian Kseniya.

The only Xenia I've ever met was from Spain, and she pronounced it SHEN-ya.

I know a Polish girl who bears this name, spelled the original Greek way, instead of the common Polish way with the letter K. Her parents were born and raised in Poland, and they called her "IX-YEN-EE-A"

Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna of Russia was the younger sister of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia.

Another famous bearer of the name is the eighteenth-century Russian saint, St. Xenia of St. Petersburg.

Xenia is an unbelievably awesome name! It starts with an X, a rare and spunky starting letter; and it sounds close to Xena without actually being Xena: Warrior Princess. It also has a long history, with a famous namesake as early as the 5th century. Xenia is both elegant and legitimately "cool" at the same time.
