Origin: Latin

Meaning: Man's defender

Alixandra is a creative twist on the classic name Alexandra, which is the feminine form of Alexander. Its Latin origins trace back to the Greek name Alexandros, meaning "defending men," where Alexo means "to defend, " and aner means "man." With all of these elements combined, Alixandra can potentially mean “man’s defender.” This name has a touch of royal history, too. Alix of Hesse, the wife of Nicholas II, the last tsar of Russia, became Aleksandra Fyodorovna when she joined the Russian Church. With its strong, protective meaning and royal connections, Alixandra is a fun and elegant choice for any little one.
