Girl names that begin with the letter X that you’ll love

As explained by experts in etymology from the University of Chile, the origin of the letter X was a figure that represented a fish in the Semitic language. Thus, it was drawn in ancient alphabets, including Phoenician. This form evolved into the Greek letter Xi, and later into Chi, already with the same sign as the current Latin X.

Although in Greek it’s pronounced as J, in Latin it’s pronounced as KS and it also sounds like this in English as well as Spanish. This was determined by the Real Academia Española. However, there’s an exception, in some proper names in Spanish, it’s pronounced as J.
