Aleksandriya is English, Greek in Origin.

Aleksandriya is a Slavic transliteration-based variant of Alexandria, ultimately from the Greek personal name Alexandros. In Cyrillic it appears as Александри́я. The elements alexein (“to defend, help”) and anēr/andros (“man”) give the sense “defender of men” or “protector of humankind.” The -iya ending reflects Eastern Slavic feminine morphology and echoes the relationship between Aleksandr and its feminine counterpart.

As a given name, Aleksandriya is modern and uncommon in Russian- and Bulgarian-speaking contexts, where Aleksandra has been the established form; it has gained sporadic use since the late 20th century under Western influence and the appeal of elaborate, place-evocative names. Related and variant forms include Alexandria (English), Aleksandra/Alexandra, Alessandra (Italian), Alejandra (Spanish), Alexandrie (French), Aleksandrija (South Slavic), and Oleksandriia (Ukrainian). Short forms range from Sasha, Alex, Lexi, and Sandra to Andi and Ria. Masculine counterparts are Aleksandr/Alexander; the renowned city of Alexandria commemorates Alexander the Great.
