Aleksas is Lithuanian in Origin.
Aleksas is the Lithuanian masculine form related to Alexander, built with the Lithuanian -as nominative ending. It derives from Greek Alexandros (alexein “to defend” + andros “man”), yielding the meaning “defender of men/people.” In Lithuania it functions both as an independent given name and as a shortened variant of Aleksandras.
Usage spread through Christian and pan-European traditions honoring Alexander the Great and numerous saints bearing the name, entering Lithuanian naming via Polish and East Slavic channels in the era of the Grand Duchy and the Commonwealth, and remaining steady through the 20th century. Variants include Lithuanian Aleksandras; international Alexander, Aleksandr (Russian), Oleksandr (Ukrainian), Alexandru (Romanian), Alexandre (French/Portuguese), Alessandro (Italian), Alejandro (Spanish), Iskandar (Persian/Arabic), and Alasdair (Scottish Gaelic). Common nicknames and short forms are Alex, Alec, Lex, Sasha (Slavic), and Sandro.
