Xerox is a company (that invented the xerox copier). Companies are not living creatures and therefore they do not have relatives.
It was invented in 1973

A Xerox Machine is any machine marketed by the Xerox Corporation. Many different machines have been marketed by Xerox Corporation, and were invented by different people at different times. Some people incorrectly say "xerox machine" when they want to say "photocopier" or something similar. The process used in most modern photocopiers is called xerography and was invented by Chester Carlson. Machines using that process were developed (not invented) by a team of engineers working for the Haloid Company, later called the Xerox Corporation.
The Xerox photocopier was invented by Chester Carlson in the 1940s. Carlson developed the technique of electrophotography, which formed the basis for modern photocopying technology. Xerox Corporation later commercialized Carlson's invention.
Neither the word "Xerox" nor the Xerox Corporation existed in medieval times. Xerox is a trademark and an invented word - invented around 1958. Xerxes, however, was an ancient Persian emperor, long before medieval times, but his name was known in medieval Europe.
The first mechanical copier or Xerox machine was called the Model A. It was introduced by Xerox Corporation in 1949.

The word Xerox is not an acronym. It is derived from the invented word "xerography" which describes the process of plain paper copying invented in 1938 by Chester Carlson and means "dry writing."
There has never been anyone whose last name was "Xerox." Xerox is a made up word and was invented about 1958 for use as a trademark of what is now the Xerox Corporation.
