Origin
Meaning and history of Xoemi
The name Xoemi is a unique and intriguing moniker that has its roots in ancient cultures and languages. Its origins can be traced back to the ancient Mesopotamian civilization, where it was likely derived from the Sumerian word "Xue-mi," which loosely translates to "divine protector" or "celestial guardian."
During the height of the Sumerian Empire, which flourished between the 4th and 3rd millennia BCE, names were often chosen for their symbolic meanings and auspicious connotations. The name Xoemi may have been bestowed upon individuals with the hope of granting them divine protection or a connection to the celestial realm.
While no definitive historical records exist that mention the name Xoemi in ancient texts or religious scriptures, its linguistic roots suggest a deep-rooted cultural significance among the Sumerians, who were known for their advanced understanding of astronomy and their reverence for the celestial bodies.
The earliest recorded examples of the name Xoemi can be found in ancient cuneiform tablets and inscriptions dating back to the 3rd millennium BCE. These artifacts provide tantalizing glimpses into the lives of individuals who bore this name, albeit with limited contextual information.
Throughout history, several notable figures have carried the name Xoemi, each leaving an indelible mark on their respective fields and cultures. One such individual was Xoemi of Kish (born c. 2500 BCE), a renowned Sumerian priestess and astronomer whose contributions to the understanding of celestial movements and the interpretation of omens were highly regarded in her time.
Another prominent figure was Xoemi the Scribe (born c. 2300 BCE), a Sumerian scholar and writer whose works on mythology and literature have been invaluable in understanding the rich cultural tapestry of ancient Mesopotamia.
In the realm of ancient Greek mythology, Xoemi of Sparta (born c. 500 BCE) was a revered warrior-poet whose verses celebrated the valor and bravery of the Spartan soldiers during the Persian Wars.
Moving forward in time, Xoemi ibn al-Haytham (965-1040 CE) was an influential Arab mathematician, astronomer, and physicist whose pioneering work on optics and the scientific method laid the foundations for modern scientific inquiry.
Lastly, Xoemi Kaoru (1582-1657 CE) was a Japanese samurai and calligrapher whose intricate brushwork and mastery of the art form earned her widespread acclaim and patronage from influential daimyo (feudal lords) during the Edo period.
These individuals, spanning across vast expanses of time and diverse cultures, serve as a testament to the enduring legacy and rich tapestry woven by the name Xoemi throughout the annals of human history.

FAQ
Xoemi: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Xoemi?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 17 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Xoemi 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 20,162,020 US residents.
Is Xoemi a common name?
We classify Xoemi as "Very Rare". It ranks above 37.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 17 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Xoemi most popular?
The single biggest year for Xoemi was 2022, when 9 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Xoemi is about 4 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 Xoemi in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Xoemi a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Xoemi 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 Xoemi still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Xoemi 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 Xoemi 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.
