What does the X in Xmas mean?
Originally the X was not an X as we use it in the English alphabet; it was the Greek letter chi which looks very similar to an X. The Greek letter X (chi) is the first letter of the Greek word for Christ, Xristos ( Χριστός) so Xmas therefore means "Christ's Mass" which is what the word Christmas actually means. For more information, please refer to the related question below.
Does the term Xmas have any other meaning apart from Christmas?
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".
