Lexa-Marie is in Origin.
Lexa-Marie blends a modern diminutive with a classic Marian second name. Lexa is a clipped form of Alexandra, from Greek Alexandros (alexein "to defend" + andros "man"), while Marie is the French form of Mary, from Latin Maria and ultimately Hebrew Miryam, interpreted as "beloved," "wished-for child," or by folk etymology "star of the sea." Put together, the name evokes "beloved defender" or "defender of the sea/star."
As an independent given name, Lexa has appeared in English and Slavic contexts since the late 20th century, gaining visibility in the 2010s through media, while Marie has long anchored Catholic compound names; French models like Anne-Marie and Jeanne-Marie helped normalize hyphenated pairings now fashionable in many countries. Variants and near-equivalents include Alexa-Marie, Alexia-Marie, Lexie-Marie, Lexa-Maria, and the unhyphenated Lexa Marie; cross-language counterparts include Alexandra-Marie, Alejandra María, Alessandra Maria, and Aleksandra-Maria.
Lexa-Marie does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
