Alexsei is a modern English respelling of the East Slavic Aleksei/Alexei (Russian Алексей), ultimately from Greek Alexandros, combining alexein “to defend” and anēr “man.” The core meaning is “defender” or “protector of men.” The name spread through Eastern Christian tradition, linked to St. Alexius the Man of God, and gained prominence in Russia through rulers such as Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich and the last heir, Tsarevich Alexei. The Alexsei spelling appears in diaspora and contemporary English usage but remains uncommon.
Common variants include Aleksei, Alexei, Aleksey, Alexey, and Aleksej; related forms are Belarusian Alyaksey/Aliaksei and Ukrainian Oleksii/Oleksiy. Diminutives in Russian include Alyosha, Lyosha, and Lesha; Alex is a natural English short form. Cognates include Alexis, Alexius, and Alexander/Aleksandr. Pronunciation varies by language; in English, Alexsei is typically read as uh-LEK-say or uh-LEK-see, with stress on the second syllable.
