Alexandria is Greek in Origin.
Alexandria is the elaborated feminine form of Alexander, from Greek Alexandros (alexo “to defend” + aner/andros “man”), thus “defender of humankind.” Also a toponym from the Hellenistic city founded by Alexander the Great; the city's renown (Library, lighthouse) lent the name scholarly aura. As a given name in English it appears from the 18th century, with broader adoption in the 19th and a sharp rise in late 20th-century America. While saints and royals more often bore Alexandra/Alexandrina, Alexandria has been used to honor classical heritage and the famed city.
Variants and related forms include Alexandra, Alexandrina, Alessandra/Alessandria (Italian), Alejandra (Spanish), Aleksandra (Slavic), and Aleksandria. Diminutives and nicknames: Alex, Lexi/Lexie, Allie, Andria, Ria, Sasha (via Russian tradition). Spelling tweaks like Alexandrea or Alixandria also occur.
