What is the meaning of the name Aleksandra ?

The baby name Aleksandra is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced ah-LEK-san-drah (approx. IPA: /aˌlɛkˈsɑndrə/).

Aleksandra is Greek in Origin.

Aleksandra is the Slavic form of Alexandra, the feminine counterpart of Alexander, from Greek Alexandros (alexo ‘to defend’ + aner/andros ‘man’), yielding the meaning “defender of people.” The ks spelling reflects Slavic orthographies that traditionally prefer ks over x; the name appears across the Balkans, Central and Eastern Europe, and among Slavic diasporas.

Use spread with Christianity through the veneration of early saints named Alexandra and gained prestige via dynastic ties; several Russian empresses and grand duchesses bore the name, and it has long ranked highly in Poland, Serbia, and North Macedonia, with peaks in the late 20th century. International variants include Alexandra (English, French, German, Scandinavian), Aleksandra (Polish, Russian, Serbian), Oleksandra (Ukrainian), Alessandra (Italian), and Alexandrina (historical). Short forms and nicknames vary by language: Sasha, Sashenka, Shura (Russian); Ola, Ala, Oleńka (Polish); Sandra or Sandy; and Lexi/Lexa in English contexts.
