Question

What proper nouns start with an ‘x’?

Answer 1

Hint: Nouns have the convenience to be objects, people, abstract ideas and even places. There are a few types of nouns but one of the well-known kinds of nouns are the proper nouns. In a sentence, if we need to name a person or a specific known location, celebrities, nationalities or anything that is already known universally, then we represent these words with a proper noun.

Complete answer:
Any proper noun is a term for either a specific individual, particular location, or for something that is not generic. In English, proper nouns are often capitalized, regardless as to where they appear in a statement. Proper names are often used to refer to nouns that have been given a particular name.
Remember that every proper noun must begin with a capital alphabet as this is how we are able to spot them out in a sentence easily.

So the rules we must follow in order to create a proper noun would be;
- They must be something that already exists and is universally accepted.
- They should always begin with a capital letter and it doesn’t matter where they come in a sentence. Even if a proper noun is placed in between a sentence they need to be capitalized.

Now moving on to writing proper nouns that already begin with ‘X’, they would look like this;
Name: Xavier, Xander
Place: Xian, Xenia, Xalapa
Thing: Xbox (since it is a company name), Xcel


Note: Proper nouns are always capitalized in English, no matter where they fall in a sentence. Because they endow nouns with a specific name, they are also sometimes called proper names. Every noun can be classified as either common or proper. A common noun is the generic name for one item in a class or group.
