Named after Xenophon - Greek natural philosopher, historian (c. 430-354 B.C.).
Xenophon is a small lunar crater that lies across the southern rim of the walled plain Fermi, to the west of the crater Tsiolkovskiy. South is Zhiritskiy F, a satellite crater of Zhiritskiy to the south-southwest. The rim of this crater is eroded and crossed by several tiny craterlets, especially along the western edge. The interior floor is featureless. (wikipedia entry)
A crater is a circular depression likely created by an impact event. On the Moon they are named after deceased scientists, polar explorers, astronauts or cosmonauts.
