 Its name means "golden-yellow land." “Xanthe” comes from a Greek  word meaning yellow.<ref>Funk and Wagnalls. Standard College Dictionary. 1963. Harcourt, Brace, World. NY.</ref>   This word is found in other words such as xanthophyll, a plant pigment often seen in leaves in the fall.

 Many interesting features are found in this small region including, Ravi Vallis, Aromatum Chaos, Ophir, Ganges Chasma, Nanedi Valles, Shalbatana Vallis, Orson Welles Crater, Mutch Crater, and Da Vinci Crater.  A Viking 1 orbiter picture of Ravi Vallis and Aromatum Chaos was highly suggestive that huge floods came out of the ground in chaos regions and formed large outflow channels.  Orson Welles Crater was named after Orson Welles who did the 1938 radio broadcast of “The War of the Worlds.”  Mutch Crater was named after Thomas Mutch  who wrote “The Geology of Mars” in 1977.  Mars Global Surveyor’s MOC found a 660 foot (200 m) wide channel on the floor of Nanedi Vallis that is thought to from a continued flow that caused new downcutting.
