Zavion is a spirited modern twist on the venerable Xavier—originally Basque for “new house”—with a dash of Zion’s uplift tucked into its bold Z-front, so it carries both the comfort of tradition and the spark of reinvention. Heard aloud as the breezy “zay-vee-uhn,” the name feels like a gust of fresh air, equally at home on a neighborhood basketball court or in the pages of a sci-fi adventure. In the United States it has danced just inside the Top 1,000 for three decades, hovering in that sweet Goldilocks zone of “known but not everywhere,” and most recently settled around No. 842. Parents often say they’re drawn to Zavion’s upbeat rhythm, its built-in nickname potential (“Zay,” anyone?), and the quiet promise tucked beneath the vowels: a child who builds new places—literal or figurative—where others feel welcome. With its sleek letter Z and softly heroic vibe, Zavion stands ready to give any little boy’s life story a running start.
