Origin
Meaning and history of Xiomayra
The name Xiomayra is a unique and intriguing moniker that hails from the Mayan culture of Central America. Its origins can be traced back to the ancient Mayan civilization that flourished in regions now encompassed by Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and parts of Honduras and El Salvador, from around 2000 BC to the 16th century AD.
Xiomayra is believed to be a combination of two Mayan words: "xio," meaning "woman," and "mayra," which may derive from the Mayan word "mair," signifying "unique" or "special." This suggests that the name could have been bestowed upon a woman who was considered exceptional or revered within the Mayan community.
While there are no definitive historical references to the name Xiomayra in ancient Mayan texts or codices, its linguistic roots and construction align with the naming conventions of this sophisticated civilization. The Mayans placed great emphasis on names, often drawing from their rich mythology, natural surroundings, and celestial observations.
The earliest recorded examples of the name Xiomayra are relatively scarce, as written records from the Mayan era are limited. However, a few notable individuals have borne this distinctive name throughout history:
1. Xiomayra Batres (1930-2018), a Guatemalan painter and sculptor renowned for her vibrant and expressive works that celebrated indigenous Mayan culture.
2. Xiomayra Morales (born 1968), a Salvadoran-American actress best known for her roles in television series such as "The Shield" and "Queen of the South."
3. Xiomayra Loya (born 1980), a Mexican-American writer and poet whose work explores themes of identity, feminism, and cultural heritage.
4. Xiomayra Coronado (born 1985), a Puerto Rican volleyball player who represented her country in several international competitions, including the Pan American Games and the FIVB World Grand Prix.
5. Xiomayra Peña (born 1990), a Dominican Republic-born model and philanthropist who has graced the covers of numerous fashion magazines and actively supports various charitable organizations.

FAQ
Xiomayra: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Xiomayra?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 6 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Xiomayra 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 57,125,723 US residents.
Is Xiomayra a common name?
We classify Xiomayra as "Very Rare". It ranks above 22.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 6 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Xiomayra most popular?
The single biggest year for Xiomayra was 2007, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Xiomayra is about 19 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 Xiomayra in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Xiomayra a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Xiomayra in the SSA data are female. 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 Xiomayra still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Xiomayra 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 Xiomayra 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.
