Meaning & History

The first element of this name is derived from Old Church Slavonic xotěti or xŭtěti "to want, to wish, to desire", which is ultimately derived from Proto-Slavic xъtěti "to want, to wish, to desire". Also compare modern Czech chtít, modern Polish chcieć and modern Serbo-Croatian hteti, all of which mean "to want, to wish, to desire". The second element is derived from Slavic slav "glory".
