lexus is English in Origin.

Lexus is a modern English given name that emerged in the late 20th century, strongly influenced by the Toyota luxury brand launched in 1989. As a personal name it is often treated as a streamlined variant of Alexis or Alexus, ultimately from Greek Alexios/Aléxios, meaning “defender” or “helper.” Some also hear echoes of Latin lex, “law,” or Greek lexis, “speech,” though these are associative rather than etymological.

Usage rose quickly in the United States during the early to mid-1990s, reflecting the marque’s visibility, and then receded in the 2000s; it has been used mostly for girls, with occasional male bearers. Related spellings and near-variants include Alexus, Lexis, Lexas, and the rarer Lexxus; common nicknames are Lex and Lexi/Lexie. The name projects a polished, contemporary image and fits with the broader family of Lex- names while remaining distinct and unmistakably modern.
