Xandra is a name usually given to girls. Greek in origin, its mighty meanings of “man’s defender” and “warrior” all lead back to eminent Alexander, borne by one of the greatest military minds in ancient history. Don’t let that deter baby Xandra from exploring the legacy of their own name, though, which is short for Alexandra, known by mythology buffs as an epithet of the Greek goddess Hera. Whether your little one builds an everlasting empire or takes their place among the Olympians, expect a lionhearted leader with this loveable iteration!
