Alexies is a rare contemporary variant of the pan-European name cluster stemming from Greek Alexios (Αλέξιος) and Alexis, from alexein “to defend, to help.” The core meaning is “defender” or “helper.” In antiquity and the medieval world, Alexios/Alexius appeared among Greek speakers and in Latin Christian tradition (notably the legend of Saint Alexius), and as Aleksey/Alexei in the Slavic and Russian sphere; Byzantine emperors and Russian tsars bore cognates, giving the name deep historical roots, traditionally masculine.

As a modern English spelling, Alexies likely blends Alexis and the French diminutive Alexie, and is sometimes chosen for its soft, stylish -ies ending. Usage is uncommon and generally unisex, with the long-established feminine Alexis/Alexia shaping its reception in recent decades.
