Lysandra is Greek in Origin.

Lysandra is the feminine form of the Ancient Greek name Lysandros (Λύσανδρος), built from lýsis “release, deliverance” and anḗr/andr- “man.” It thus carries the meaning “liberator,” often interpreted as “she who frees” or “freer of men.” The Greek form Λυσάνδρα is recorded in classical sources, and the name retains a sleek, lyrical quality that appeals to modern tastes while keeping a strong etymological core.

In antiquity, Lysandra appears among Hellenistic royalty - most notably a daughter of Ptolemy I Soter - giving the name a regal pedigree. It saw sporadic revival in neoclassical Europe and today is used in Greece and internationally as a distinctive alternative to Alexandra. Variants and related forms include Lisandra (Spanish/Portuguese), Lysandre (French, chiefly masculine), and Lysander (English/Greek masculine); short forms such as Lyssa or Sandra sometimes occur. The name also echoes through literature and taxonomy, reinforcing its classical flair.
