Meaning & origin
Xiomara has been recorded in the United States since 1954, but its real ascent began around 1985, when it started a steady upward trajectory. By 2023, it reached its peak rank, and as of 2025 it stands at 463rd, with roughly 1 in 2,417 newborn girls receiving the name. The name is especially popular in states with large Hispanic populations: New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada. Its rise reflects broader trends in the appreciation of Spanish-language names with strong, melodic sounds.
Xiomara is a Spanish name derived from the Germanic name Guiomar or Wiomar, composed of the elements "wig" (war or battle) and "mar" (famous). It entered Spanish through the Visigoths and was later popularized in the Spanish-speaking world, particularly in Latin America. The name has been in use in the United States since the mid-20th century, with a notable rise in popularity beginning in the 1980s.
