Alejandria is Spanish in Origin.
Alejandria is a Spanish-influenced feminine form related to Alexandra and Alexandria, ultimately from Greek Alexandros (alexein "to defend" + aner/andros "man"). It carries the meaning "defender of men," often interpreted today as "protector of humankind." In Spanish it also echoes Alejandría, the traditional name of the city of Alexandria, so the given name may reference both the classical lineage and the storied place.
Used sporadically in Spain, Latin America, and the Philippines, Alejandria likely arose as an embellished alternative to Alejandra or as a place-inspired choice. The accentless spelling is common outside Spain. Related forms include Alejandra (Spanish standard), Alexandria and Alexandra (English), Aleksandra (Slavic), Alessandra (Italian), and rare Alessandria/Alejandría as place-name variants. Nicknames range from Ale and Andria to Sandra, Xandra, Lexi, and Alex. The masculine counterparts are Alejandro and Alexander, sustained in usage by Alexander the Great and early Christian saints named Alexandra.
