Alexine is Greek in Origin.
Alexine is a rare French feminine form derived from the Alexander/Alexis family of names, ultimately from Greek Alexandros (alexein "to defend, protect" + aner/andros "man"). The French -ine ending gives it a delicate, vintage tone while preserving the core meaning "defender" or "protector".
Recorded in 19th-century Europe, the name is notably borne by Dutch explorer Alexine Tinne (1835-1869). In English-speaking regions it saw occasional Victorian-era use, often as a genteel elaboration of Alex. Though uncommon today, Alexine surfaces in Francophone and Low Countries usage and offers a fresh alternative to Alexandra or Alexia. Close variants include Alexina, Alexandrine, Alexandra, Alexis (fem.), and Alexia; cognates such as Italian Alessia reflect the same Greek root. Common short forms are Alex, Lexie/Lexi, and Lex.
