Xantha is a girl’s name of Greek origin and a super-cute alternative for Xanthe, meaning “yellow,” “blonde,” or “fair-hared.” If you know your Greek mythology, you’ll know that Xanthe was quite a common name for nymphs. Perhaps it was all down to nature, or maybe it was a name that the Olympians thought best captured the allure of these earth-nurturing maidens. Either way, it’s a fabulous title to fill your little one’s life with magic, and choosing Xantha is just one of many ways to give it that extra oomph!
