Lekso is Georgian in Origin.

Lekso is a Georgian diminutive of Aleksandre, the local form of Alexander. It ultimately traces to Greek Alexandros, built from aléxō “to defend, help” and anḗr/andr- “man,” yielding the sense “defender of men.” In Georgian usage, Lekso arises as a clipped, affectionate call name from Alekso/Aleksandre and is sometimes given as an independent formal name, especially in contemporary records.

The name is well attested in Georgia across the 20th and 21st centuries, where affectionate short forms are commonly used in both family and public life. Variant spellings include Lexo, reflecting transliteration choices; closely related Georgian pet forms are Aleko and Sandro. Cognates and international equivalents include Alexander, Alexandros, Aleksandr, Alessandro, Iskandar, Sander, Xander, and Sasha (a Slavic diminutive). While compact and informal in tone, Lekso retains the classic Alexander meaning and prestige in a distinctly Georgian guise.
