Oleksandrovych is Ukrainian in Origin.

Oleksandrovych is a Ukrainian patronymic, not a traditional given name, formed from Oleksandr (the Ukrainian form of Alexander) plus the suffix -ovych, meaning “son of.” It ultimately traces to Greek Alexandros, “defender/protector of men.” In Ukrainian naming practice, Oleksandrovych functions as a formal middle name used in documents and respectful address, reflecting Eastern Slavic patronymic systems maintained from the Kyivan Rus’ era through the Cossack registers and into modern civil records. It may occasionally appear as a hereditary surname due to historical record-keeping.

Variant transliterations include Oleksandrovych and Aleksandrovych; close equivalents are Russian Aleksandrovich, Belarusian Aliaksandravich, Polish Aleksandrowicz, and Lithuanian Aleksandrovičius. The feminine Ukrainian counterpart is Oleksandrivna (“daughter of Oleksandr”). While rarely bestowed as a first name, it can surface in diaspora records where patronymics are entered as given names. Related given-name forms include Oleksandr, Olexandr, Alexander, and Aleksandr.
