Oxa is in Origin.

Oxa is a sleek, ultra-rare given name most plausibly arising as a clipped form of Oksana/Oxana, the East Slavic feminine name ultimately derived from Greek Xenia. Xenia denotes "hospitality" and carries the nuance of welcoming the xenos (guest or stranger), so Oxa inherits a meaning connected to generosity toward newcomers.

As an independent name, Oxa surfaces sporadically in Eastern European contexts where it functions as a casual nickname, and it has begun to appeal internationally as a minimalist, X-centered choice. Usage remains very uncommon in official records. Related variants and longer forms include Oksana and Oxana; cognate roots appear in Xenia, Ksenia, and Kseniya. Diminutive-style spellings such as Oksa also occur. While chiefly feminine through its link to Oksana, Oxa can read as gender-neutral in contemporary naming styles. Its brevity and vivid consonant structure give it a modern, distinctive profile.
