No - or at least, it wasn't always... it started off as the ficticious and secular name of "Charles Xavier", which came into existance with the advent of the first X-men Comics... but due to the time-travelling discombobulations of Bishop, who was evading Apocalypse at the time, the name was taken back in time to Catholic Europe, where the future founder of the Jesuits was being born. Bishop, in jest, suggested to his parents that they name him Xavier... which they promptly did. That, in a nutshell, is the history of how the name Xavier was Christianized!
