What is the meaning of the name Alexsandra ?

The baby name Alexsandra is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /ˌælɛksˈsændrə/ (al-eks-SAN-dra).

Alexsandra is Greek, Slavic in Origin.

Alexsandra is a modern hybrid spelling of Alexandra, the feminine form of Greek Alexandros, from alexein "to defend" + aner/andros "man," yielding the meaning "defender/protector of humankind." Through Hellenistic, early Christian, and Byzantine transmission, Alexandra became established across Europe, associated with saints and royalty such as Saint Alexandra of Rome and Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. The Alexsandra variant appears intermittently in Slavic-diaspora and English-speaking records from the late 20th century, blending English Alex with Slavic Aleksandra.

Variants include Alexandra, Aleksandra (Polish, Russian, Serbian), Alessandra (Italian), Alejandra (Spanish), Alexandria (English), and French Alexandrine; masculine counterpart Alexander. Diminutives and nicknames range from Sasha (East Slavic) and Sandra/Sandi to Lexa, Lexi, Alex, and Ali. While rare, Alexsandra appeals to parents seeking a distinctive twist that preserves the venerable sound, cross-cultural reach, and protective meaning of the Alexandra family.
