Xi... Nadia.
.
This woman's name was Xi (希), which means "Hope" in Chinese and is used as a female name. Xi Wang (希望) is, on the contrary, the literal translation of the word hope, but it is less common as a female name and less frequently used as a traditional given name. In Slavic languages, Nadezhda has the same meaning, but the shortened form Nadia is used as a female name. Nadia is one of the most emblematic and widely used names in Eastern European countries. It literally means "Hope." And Nadia is the title of a little-known song by Jeff Beck. And so we come full circle. Xi... Nadia... Esperanza...
