Literal meaning
"Generously jowled."
History
Whispered in an empty room under the Marquis of Bute, the name Xanthia was originally used by nuns to refer to warriors who died during drill practice, before interbreeding with the natives took place.
Famous Xanthias
1. Chief Scientist Xanthia du Grating, MA ("The Celebrated Juggler"), director of the new Bond movie, IS THIS SEAT TAKEN? THANKS;
2. Xanthia O ap Cangoose ("The Mighty"), first victim of stout boots;
3. Xanthia S'Ess-Frewsy ("The Nervous"), channeller under supernatural influences of the entertainment industry blacklist;
4. Xanthia de Sponetote-Toot, early user of an ice sculpture of Hugh Scully;
5. Xanthia Tidecatcher, belittler of Explode-O, the wonder bang dismantler; ghost-writer of Jerry Desmonde's astonishingly violent autobiography, REMINISCING FROM MY DEATHBED; first holder of the office of Gross Miscarriager of Justice;
6. Xanthia Nightdodge, MA, of the generation which fondly remembers the world's sturdiest box;
7. Xanthia Happenstance, RN, exposed in the press as having swapped a child for the constellation of Pleiades;
8. Xanthia Sprewt, who lost a fortune on the Formidable Coat;
9. Xanthia Orbiting-Frote, haunted by an image of the early career of Roy Clarke;
10. Xanthia du Nivea, MD, for a time, in their own mind, romantically linked with unspeakable guilt.
Typical Xanthia motto
"A bird in the eye is excruciatingly painful."

Oh my god! I have a huge bowl that's nearly overflowing with chocolate now. The caramel egg barely lasted one minute after being spotted. And Chai Tea Latte mix! And Browni mix! And CHERRY COKE! Okay, I will stop abusing exclamation marks with no thought for their well-being now. Thank you sooooo much. You're spoiling me rotten and I love you for it.
I am off to play at the doll site again.
Fin.
