But as you will notice, the page for Xylia gives an unknown usage, and says Modern creation, perhaps based on Greek ξυλον (xylon) meaning "of the forest". So even in the case of modern creations and/or names with unknown meaning, in academically accurate fashion this website will tell you that. Unlike some other websites and name books which just make junk up! :)

Yeah, I think accuracy is a good thing... I listed Zaelia as Latin American Spanish (because it's a shortened form of Rosaelia), as well as English (Hispanic) and English (Modern). Not going to pretend Zaelia was popular in medieval Spain or Regency England; it's a modern creation derived from older names. Eventually it can be linked to Ancient Rome, but obviously that doesn't make it a Latin name.
