This birthplace name, in turn, has Basque roots, etymologically originating in the word etxaberri (etxe berri in standard spelling), meaning "castle" or "new house".[2] The original place name went through a Romance phonetic change in Navarro-Aragonese, a Romance language spoken in the neighbouring Romanzado (cf. Leire) from the Early Middle Ages. Like examples can be found in Irunberri > Lumbier, Erronkari > Roncal. It was later borrowed by Castilian. Other variations of this name include Xaverius, Xever, Javiero, and Saverio. The feminine Javiera, Saveria, Zaviera, and Saverina are less common. Etxeberria, Echeverría, Echevarría, Etxebarri, and Chávarri are Basque surnames related to the name by etymology. Its diffusion is due to the fame of Jesuit priest and missionary Saint Francis Xavier ({{lang-es|San Francisco Javier}}). When he was canonized, places and people were named after him, which popularized the name. Contemporary use of the name Javier is found in Spain, Equatorial Guinea and Latin American countries, where it is popular. Etymology: from Exaberri to Javier
Portuguese kept the pronunciation of "x" as the English "sh". Therefore, in Portuguese the name is still spelled Xavier and maintains the original "sh" pronunciation. PronunciationIn the English-speaking world, especially in the British media, the pronunciation of "Javier" is frequently confused with the pronunciation of French words or names ending in "-ier" such as Xavier or Olivier. The resulting pronunciation "HAV-ee-ay" is a hybrid of Spanish, French and English. In Spanish, correctly spoken, the final syllable sounds much like the English word "air", not the English word "eh". English speakers, unfamiliar with names beginning with "X", sometimes pronounce "Xavier" as "ex-avier". This pronunciation is sometimes used for fictional characters, such as Charles Xavier, leader of the fictional X-Men, however it is not incorrect to pronounce it this way when considering its Basque origin or that many 'X' words derive in English from the Greek phonetics, which pronounce it as a 'Ks' sound.
