So, there’s something we need to talk about. It’s been weighing on our hearts and minds for some time now. A lot of you may be wondering this right now.
How is Xavier actually pronounced?
We’ve heard a few variations over the years…like Zah – ve – yer, Egg – zay – vier or Egg – Zah – yer. But our personal fav. is definitely Egg-Savior. Get it?
But let’s get serious. Just like in Xylophone, the ‘X’ is not pronounced twice but rather as a ‘Z’ sound. When in doubt, take a listen to this video. Xavier students around the world will thank you!
Let’s Go X!
