Origin
Meaning and history of Xiomora
The name Xiomora is a variant of the Spanish name Juana, which in turn is derived from the Hebrew name Yohanan, meaning "Yahweh is gracious." It is a feminine form of the name Juan, which was widely used in Spain during the Middle Ages.
The earliest recorded use of the name Xiomora dates back to the 16th century in Spain. It was particularly popular among the nobility and upper classes, as many aristocratic families favored names with a rich historical and cultural heritage.
One of the earliest known individuals with the name Xiomora was Xiomora de Mendoza (1508-1572), a Spanish noblewoman and influential figure at the court of King Philip II. She was known for her patronage of the arts and her support for the Catholic Church.
Another notable bearer of the name was Xiomora de Zúñiga (1560-1628), a Spanish poet and writer who was part of the literary circle of the renowned playwright Lope de Vega. Her works, which included poetry and religious texts, were widely acclaimed during her lifetime.
In the 17th century, Xiomora de Velasco (1602-1667) was a Spanish countess and landowner who played a significant role in the colonization of the Americas. She was granted extensive territories in what is now Mexico and helped establish several settlements in the region.
Moving to the 18th century, Xiomora de Osuna (1720-1789) was a Spanish painter known for her religious works and portraiture. She studied under some of the most renowned artists of her time and was a member of the prestigious Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid.
In more recent times, Xiomora de la Cuadra (1875-1952) was a Nicaraguan poet and activist who championed women's rights and social justice. Her poems often reflected her experiences as a woman in a patriarchal society and her desire for equality and empowerment.
These are just a few examples of notable individuals who have borne the name Xiomora throughout history.

FAQ
Xiomora: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Xiomora?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 22 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Xiomora 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 15,579,743 US residents.
Is Xiomora a common name?
We classify Xiomora as "Very Rare". It ranks above 41.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 22 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Xiomora most popular?
The single biggest year for Xiomora was 2021, when 8 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Xiomora is about 3 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 Xiomora in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Xiomora a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Xiomora 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 Xiomora still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Xiomora 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 Xiomora 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.
