Origin: Greek

Meaning: Like a man; Man's defender; Man's liberator

Isander is a boy’s name of Greek origin. Rooted in the Greek name Isandros, it means “like a man.” But as a derivative of Alexander, it can also translate to “man’s defender” or “man’s liberator.” As Greek history has it, Isander’s predecessor definitely lives up to its etymologies, with great military minds and rulers tied to it. But there’s nothing keeping your little Isander from becoming their own hero!
