Xiomara is a feminine Spanish given name, which is probably of Guanche ancestry that can be compared with Guacimara or Autinmara [es], which share the same suffixes.

It is also less likely a variant of Guiomar and derived from the German name Wigmar, which means "battle ready" or "battle famous" (also a homophone of the Guanche toponym Güímar) [2] or derived from uuiu (cf. gwiw) which means worthy in Old Breton and marc'h (cf. marc'h) which means horse in Breton. In the United States it ranked 986th place in names for female newborns in 2010.[3]
