Alexandrovich is Slavic in Origin.

Alexandrovich is an East Slavic patronymic meaning “son of Alexander,” from Greek Alexandros (alexein “to defend” + andros “man”), thus “defender of men.” In Russian, Belarusian, and Ukrainian naming it serves as the masculine middle element indicating a father named Alexander/Oleksandr, rather than a stand‑alone first name. The form is prominent in imperial Russia - e.g., Grand Dukes Vladimir Alexandrovich and Sergei Alexandrovich, sons of Tsar Alexander II.

Transliteration and regional variants include Aleksandrovich (Russian: Aleksandrovich/Александрович), Oleksandrovych (Ukrainian: Олександрович), and Aliaksandravich (Belarusian: Аляксандравіч). As a hereditary surname it appears as Aleksandrowicz or Alexandrowicz (Polish), Aleksandrovičius (Lithuanian), and Aleksandrovych (Ukrainian diaspora). The feminine patronymics are Alexandrovna/Aleksandrovna (Russian) and Oleksandrivna (Ukrainian). While occasionally adopted as a distinctive given name outside Slavic patronymic systems, Alexandrovich is most authentic as a patronymic or surname, carrying the classic protective meaning associated with Alexander.
