What is the meaning of the name Oxana ?

The baby name Oxana is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ok-SAH-nuh (IPA: /ɒkˈsɑːnə/; Ukrainian: [okˈsɑnɑ]).

Oxana is Slavic in Origin.

Oxana is a Westernized spelling of Oksana, the East Slavic form of Ksenia/Xenia, ultimately from the Greek ξενία (xenia) meaning “hospitality, guest‑friendship,” from xenos “guest, stranger.” The name entered Slavic usage through Byzantine Christian influence, anchored by devotion to saints named Xenia - especially St. Xenia of Rome and St. Xenia of St. Petersburg. It has long been common in Ukraine and Russia and appears across Eastern Europe and the diaspora.

Variants and related forms include Oksana (standard Ukrainian/Russian), Ksenia/Kseniya (Russian), Xenia (international/Greek), and Aksana (Belarusian); rare spellings like Oxanna or Axana also occur. The Oxana spelling gained visibility in Western transliteration and media, and is familiar through bearers such as Olympic champion Oksana Baiul and Russian TV personality Oksana (Oxana) Fedorova. With its classical roots and welcoming meaning, Oxana offers a distinctive yet culturally grounded choice.
