Xion's name was coined by Tomoco Kanemaki, one of ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'''s scenario writers and the writer of the [[Kingdom Hearts series (novels)|Kingdom Hearts Novels]]. Tetsuya Nomura took a liking to it and notes that it has many meanings. Xion's name contains the Japanese words for {{nihongo|"tide"|潮|shio}}, fitting the oceanic naming theme of Kairi and Naminé, and {{nihongo|''[[wikipedia:Aster tataricus|Aster tataricus]]''|紫苑|shion}}, which, according to [[wikipedia:Hanakotoba|Japanese floriography]], means "I won't forget you" or "remembrance". It is also revealed within the [[Secret Reports]] that her "original name" was "No.''i''", her ID as an experiment of the [[Replica Program]]. The "''i''" used here is in fact the [[wikipedia:i (number)|imaginary number]].

Xion was voted "Best New Character" in the 2009 Nintendo Power Awards.
