What Xilonen means
Xilonen is a name from Nahuatl (Aztec) mythology meaning "young maize goddess". It comes from xīlōtl (tender green ear of maize) + -nen(etl) (doll)? or 'hairy one'; etymology uncertain. It is pronounced shee-LOH-nen.
Goddess of tender maize, honoured at the summer festival Huey Tecuilhuitl. Etymology uncertain: 'maize doll' and 'hairy one' (for the corn silk) are both proposed. Occasionally given as a girls' name.
