Xanadu...just wondering?

in Baby Names

I was eating at Olive Garden today, and our waitress' name was Xanadu. (Zan-a-do) I thought that was a rather "interesting" name as I have never heard it before. I asked her if it had any meaning and she said nope, just something my parents threw together, and yes, I hate them for it.

 

 Has anyone ever heard this name before? It sounds like it might have some meaning behind it or maybe be from a different culture?

    There is a movie with Olivia Newton-John called Xanadu.  Maybe that's where they got it.  I like the movie strange as it is but definitely not as a name.

    It's from the poem "Kubla Kahn" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He wrote it in 1797 after an opium bender.

    Srsly? It's a poem. The musical/movie name is because of the poem.

    Just know it from Kubla Khan but something tells me the server's parents only knew it from the Olivia Newton John perspective.
