Allessandra is Italian in Origin.
Allessandra is a modern variant spelling of Alessandra, the Italian feminine form of Alexander, derived from Greek Alexandros (from alexein, "to defend," and aner/andros, "man"), meaning "defender of mankind" or "protector of people." While Alessandra is standard in Italian and also used in Portuguese, the double-L Allessandra is chiefly a contemporary Anglophone embellishment chosen for its balanced look and the nickname Allie.
The name has deep roots through the cult of saints named Alexander and the prestige of the Alexander tradition; in Italy it appears in medieval records and flourished among Renaissance nobility and in modern culture. International equivalents include Alexandra (English, French, Greek), Aleksandra (Slavic), Alejandra (Spanish), and Alessandra (Italian/Portuguese). Short forms: Allie/Ally, Ale, Alessa, Sandra, Sandy, Sasha, Lexi/Lexa, Xandra. Close variant spellings are Alessandra (standard), Alesandra, and Alisandra; related forms include Alessia.
