Christmas. It has other names, such as Xmas (an abbreviation), Yule, Yuletide and Noel, which comes from the french word for Christmas, Noël.
Yes it is
Xmas ( pronounced krissmuss ) is an abbreviation of the word "Christmas."
It is disrespectful only if you mispronounce it Eksmas. In the abbreviation Xmas (pronounced "Christmas"), the X- is not the Roman letter x. It is the Greek letter chi, which is long-established as a proper abbreviation for Christ.
Xmas Yuletide
It has no other common meaning because Xmas is the common abbreviation of the word Christmas.The "-mas" part is from the Latin-derived Old English word for Mass,while the "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Χριστός, translated as "Christ".There is a common misconception that the word Xmas stems from a secular attempt to remove the religious tradition from Christmas by taking the "Christ" out of "Christmas".
