Alexandrina is Greek in Origin.
Alexandrina is a feminine elaboration of Alexandra, ultimately from Greek Alexandros, formed from alexein “to defend” and anēr/andros “man; warrior,” yielding the sense “defender of mankind.” The -ina ending reflects a Latinate and Romance stylistic extension, paralleling forms like Alexandrine. The name travels comfortably across languages, appearing as Alexandrina or Aleksandrina in Slavic contexts and as Alessandrina or Alejandrina in Italian and Spanish orthography.
In English-speaking usage it is notable as the baptismal first name of Queen Victoria (Alexandrina Victoria), which lent the form some 19th‑century visibility. It has enjoyed steadier circulation in Portugal and Brazil, Romania, and Bulgaria, with literary and musical bearers such as Bulgarian soprano Alexandrina Pendatchanska. Variants and related forms include Alexandra, Alexandrine, Alejandrina, Alessandrina, Aleksandrina; nicknames range from Alexa, Lexa, and Rina to Sandra, Sandrina, Drina, and Sasha. Many traditions celebrate name days for Alexandra/Alexandrina in April or May in honor of early Christian martyrs.
