Xavien
Xavien is a variant spelling of the name Xavier, which is derived from the Spanish surname Javier, itself from the Basque place name Etxaberria, meaning 'new house' in Basque.
The name Xavier was borne by St. Francis Xavier (1506-1552), a Navarrese Catholic missionary who was one of the founders of the Jesuit order and co-patron of Navarre.
The name became popular in the English-speaking world after the canonization of St. Francis Xavier in 1622. It has been used as both a given name and a surname.
Xavien is a more recent variant spelling of this name, likely influenced by the trend of giving traditional names more unique spellings.
