What is the meaning of the name Alekssandr ?

The baby name Alekssandr is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /ɑlɛkˈsɑndr/ (ah-LEK-sahn-dr).

Alekssandr is Greek in Origin.

Alekssandr is a stylized Slavic-Baltic respelling of Alexander, from Greek Alexandros (“to defend” + “man”), meaning “defender of men.” The double s visually underscores the ks cluster seen in Slavic transliterations (Aleks-), and may arise in modern registries or creative naming to blend Aleksandr with Western Alexander. Pronounced ah-lek-SAHN-dr, it aligns most closely with the East Slavic Aleksandr (Александр).

The name spread through Hellenistic influence, Christian saints, and dynastic prestige: Alexander the Great, St. Alexander Nevsky, and Russian emperors Alexander I–III cemented its stature across Europe and the Slavic world. Close variants include Aleksandr (Rus.), Oleksandr (Ukr.), Alyaksandr (Belar.), Aleksander (Pol./Est.), Aleksandrs (Latv.), and Aleksandras (Lith.). Feminine forms are Alexandra/Aleksandra. Diminutives and cognates span Sasha, Sanya, Saša, Lex, Xander, and Sandro. Alekssandr remains rare but readily understood wherever Alexander forms are familiar.
