It means yellow in Greek, and is pronounced Zan-thee.

bit pretentious

I love this name but decided that it was just too cool/arty/trendy for us!!

Best of luck

Love it, had a spaniel called Xanthe when I was a teenager though so could never actually use it for my DDs as they may not have appreciated being named after a fat and rather stinky dog...

Like it.

Its nice but I would give her another easier to spell, easier to say name too or she will curse you forever (this is from someone who has spent what feels like a large proportion of my life telling people how to spell my name and gnashing my teeth as people say it wrong)
