What is the meaning of the name Alexandro ?

The baby name Alexandro is a Male name and is pronounced Spanish: [a.leksˈandɾo] (ah-leks-AHN-dro); English: /ˌælɪkˈsændroʊ/ (al-ik-SAN-droh).

Alexandro is Greek in Origin.

Alexandro is a Romance-language variant of Alexander, ultimately from the Greek Aléxandros (alexein “to defend, help” + anēr/andros “man”). The core meaning is “defender of men” or “protector of mankind.” This spelling appears in Spanish- and Italian-influenced contexts as a bridge between Alejandro/Alessandro and the pan-European Alexander, and it suits bilingual families seeking a familiar yet distinctive form.

Usage clusters in Latin America and among U.S. Latinos from the late 20th century, with occasional appearance in Italy; its prestige echoes the long tradition of saints, scholars, and rulers named Alexander, most famously Alexander the Great. Close variants include Alejandro, Alessandro, Alexandre, and Alexander; feminine counterparts are Alejandra, Alessandra, and Alexandra. Nicknames span Alex, Sandro, Jandro, Xandro, and Lex; Sasha is a Slavic diminutive of the root name sometimes adopted cross-culturally.
