Xochil

Meaning of Xochil

Picture this: pronounced soh-CHEEL, Xochil blossoms from the Nahuatl xōchitl, the warm-giving word for “flower.” In Aztec lore it whispers of Xochiquetzal, goddess of beauty and creativity, bestowing on each bearer a sense of vibrant originality. Though it has never flooded American birth lists—peaking in the early 1980s and gently settling into a cherished, under-the-radar choice—parents can rest easy knowing their little Xochil isn’t likely to share her name with three classmates on the first day of preschool. Like a hidden garden in full bloom, Xochil feels both grounded and free-spirited—a name that paints everyday moments in petal-soft light and inspires a lifelong embrace of growth. For families seeking a blend of nature’s grace and cultural depth, Xochil offers an invitation to celebrate beauty at every stage of life.
