History & Origin
Xaiver is a (vowel-transposed) spelling of Xavier — from the Basque Etxeberria, 'the new house' (the castle of St Francis Xavier, the great Jesuit missionary), and sometimes linked to 'bright, splendid' (routes layered, which we note). A strong, lyrical name; we note this 'Xaiver' spelling transposes the vowels of the standard Xavier (the X said 'Z', so 'ZAY-vee-ər'; nickname Xay).
It registers thinly beside Xavier. Rare, the-new-house at the root, and lyrical.
