Ximenna Name Meaning

The name Ximenna is largely used in Spanish-speaking countries, although its origins are believed to be Hebrew. It is a variant of the Spanish name Jimena, which is itself a feminine form of Jimeno. The name Ximenna is associated with the Hebrew name Simon, meaning "one who hears" or "God has heard."

It is a relatively rare name, not commonly found outside of Spanish-speaking populations. However, it has been brought to attention by the Mexican actress Ximena Navarrete, who in 2010 won the Miss Universe pageant. She has since made a successful career in modeling and acting, causing an increase in the popularity of the name Ximena/Ximenna.
