There are a lot of Mayan words that begin with "x" that have made their way into our language. For example, in Guatemala they refer to a heavy downpour/rainy season as Xocomil (which is also the name the largest water-park in Central America ).

Naturally, the pronunciation differs, though: sho-ko-MIL.
