Meaning and background
The story behind Xenia
Xenia is based on the Ancient Greek word xenia, traditionally associated with hospitality and the relationship between host and guest. The term derives from xenos, which can mean a guest, stranger or foreigner depending on context. Xenia is an established personal name, also connected with an early Christian saint. The English spelling masks different pronunciations across languages, including Spanish SEH-nya, so it is best not to prescribe one international reading.
