Origin
Meaning and history of Xzorion
The name Xzorion is an ancient one, with its roots tracing back to the Sumerian civilization of Mesopotamia, which flourished around 3500-3000 BC. It is derived from the Sumerian word "xzuri," meaning "radiant light," and "onion," which translates to "eternal." Together, the name Xzorion signifies a person who is believed to possess an eternal, radiant spirit.
The earliest known record of the name Xzorion dates back to around 2500 BC, where it appears in a cuneiform inscription found in the ruins of the ancient city of Ur. This inscription is believed to be a dedication to a high-ranking priest or spiritual leader who carried the name Xzorion.
In the ancient Sumerian religion, the name Xzorion was closely associated with the worship of the sun god, Utu. It was believed that individuals with this name were blessed with the power to channel the divine energy of the sun, making them revered as spiritual guides and healers.
Throughout history, several notable figures have borne the name Xzorion. One of the most prominent was Xzorion the Wise (c. 1200 BC), a renowned Babylonian philosopher and astrologer who made significant contributions to the study of astronomy and the interpretation of celestial events.
Another individual of note was Xzorion of Tyre (c. 100 AD), a Phoenician navigator and explorer who is credited with establishing trade routes across the Mediterranean and reaching the shores of what is now modern-day Britain.

FAQ
Xzorion: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Xzorion?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 42 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Xzorion going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 8,160,818 US residents.
Is Xzorion a common name?
We classify Xzorion as "Very Rare". It ranks above 51.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 43 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Xzorion most popular?
The single biggest year for Xzorion was 2004, when 17 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Xzorion is about 21 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Xzorion in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Xzorion a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Xzorion in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Xzorion still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Xzorion in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Xzorion can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
