Meaning & origin
Ximenna first appeared in the United States in 2002 and reached its peak popularity in 2016, though it has never been common. By 2025, the name ranked 13,208th with a 1-in-267,878 frequency, and its usage has been declining since 2017. The name is a modern variant of the more established Ximena, itself tied to the Spanish medieval figure Jimena Díaz. While it has not appeared heavily in any particular state, Ximenna fits a pattern of El Cid-related names gaining traction among families seeking a distinctive Latinx-cultural name.
Ximenna appears to be a feminine form of the Spanish name Jimeno, itself a variant of Ximeno or Jiménez. The name is thought to derive from the Basque word 'seme' meaning 'son', thus originally a patronymic surname. It is most historically associated with the legendary figure Ximena Díaz (wife of El Cid), though the modern spelling Ximenna is a recent, likely Americanized elaboration.
