Alisandre is in Origin.

Alisandre is a medieval Romance and Anglo-Norman form of Alexander, ultimately from Greek Alexandros (“defender, protector of men”), carried through Latin Alexander and Old French spellings that fluctuated between Alisandre, Alixandre, and Alexandre. The spelling appears in Middle English and Anglo-Norman documents and echoes the era’s scribal habit seen as well in Chaucer’s Alisaundre for Alexandria; as a personal name it aligns with the chivalric prestige of Alexander the Great and the popular Old French Roman d’Alexandre.

Today Alisandre reads as a rare, lyrical alternative to Alexander/Alexandre, and can function as unisex, though traditionally masculine. Related forms include Alexandre (French/Portuguese), Alessandro and Alessandra (Italian), Alejandro/Alejandra (Spanish), Aleksandr/Aleksandra (Slavic), and Scottish Gaelic Alasdair/Alistair. Short forms span Ali, Sander, Sandro, Xander, and Lex. The meaning remains the classic “defender of mankind,” lending the name timeless strength with a distinctive medieval twist.
