History & Origin

Xyion has no documented history — it is a brand-new American coinage. The likeliest reading is an X-styled respelling of Zion, a Hebrew place name tied to Jerusalem and carried into modern given-name use.

It appears only very rarely for boys in the U.S. and is newly emerging. Rare, striking, and thoroughly modern.
