Francis Xavier (name)

Franz Xaver, Franz -Xaver, [ fʁants ksɑfɐ ] is a common male first name.

Origin, Meaning and dissemination

The name follows the Romanesque Usance, at Holy whose second name, even if it is a case of first or last name to put as first name, the double name is inseparably connected with this saint. This name goes back to the holy Francisco de Xavier y Jassu whose missionary work in India and Japan in earlier times left a very large impression on the faithful Catholic population. The letters of the Jesuits from the mission were widely printed.

Franz comes from the Old High German in the meaning -free, bold, but is primarily the Leitname of Francis of Assisi; Xavier refers to the castle Xavier ( from the Basque expression etxe berri, new house '), the birthplace of the saint.

The Eindeutschung has been anchored by the Counter-Reformation of the 16th century mainly in the Bavarian language area ( Bavaria and Austria ) and is abbreviated as FX, shortening Franz X. is also possible, is omitted, " Xavier " is not. Nickname is almost exclusively " Xavier " (or the full Franz -Xaver ). ( In the American, where the Christian reference is less dominant, deviations come of it before though. )
