History & Origin
Zavior is a Z-spelling of Xavier — from the Basque place-name Etxeberria, 'the new house' (St Francis Xavier, a co-founder of the Jesuits), sometimes also linked to Arabic, 'bright, splendid' (routes layered, which we note). A crisp, modern name; the Z- spelling spells out the sound (nickname Zavi or Z).
It registers thinly beside Xavier. Rare, the-new-house at the (likely) root, and crisp.
