Xanthia is a first name for girls.
Recently, the name Xanthia has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Xanthia. That means that a girl named Xanthia is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter X is very rare as a first letter for girls' names: only 0.3% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. Only the letter U is even rarer as the first letter of girls' names. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A and S.
With seven letters, the name Xanthia has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that with 0.3% of all girls' names starting with an X, all other letters occur on average more than ten times as often as the X. Moreover, of the comparatively few girls' names that start with X, most of them aren't very common either - the most popular one currently is Ximena.
If your name is Xanthia and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
