"X" is always said with a "ks" sound in Greek, so that makes it a cumbersome letter with which to start a word or name.
If you're asking for full-on deities whose names in the Latin alphabet start with X, there are only two, neither of them major: Xanthus was the patron god of the River of Troy. Another Xanthus was one of the twelve sons of Pan.
There are figures whose names start with X who appear in Greek mythology, however, and many minor mythological figures may have been adaptations of older divinities, in the same way that the Welsh river god Cei became Sir Kay of the Arthurian mythos.
There are several women named Xanthippe, one of whom fed her imprisoned father, Myconus, on her own breast milk to prevent his starvation, but the best known is probably the legendary Amazon leader Xanthippe.
Xanthius was the father of Leucippus, who fell in love with his own sister after drawing the attention of a wrathful Aphrodite, goddess of Love. Xanthius was told his daughter had been seduced away from her betrothed and stormed into her room, catching her with Leucippus, and killed her, thinking he was killing her lover. Leucippus then slew his father, none of them having any idea whom they were killing at the time.
There are a number of non-divine people named Xanthus listed on Wikipedia: Xuthus founded the Ionian and Achaen nations through his sons.
There are a number of gods/titans (the titans being the progenitors of the gods) whose names start with the greek letter X, including good old Chaos.
