Sandro is Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.

Sandro is a Romance and Georgian short form of Alexander, most commonly emerging from Italian Alessandro but also from Spanish Alejandro and Georgian Aleksandre. Its ultimate source is Greek Alexandros, from alexein “to defend” and aner/andros “man,” yielding the meaning “defender of men” or “protector of mankind.” Used across Italy, the Iberian world, the Balkans, and Georgia, Sandro has long functioned as both nickname and independent given name.

Usage gained cultural traction through bearers such as the Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli (born Alessandro), statesman Sandro Pertini, and football great Sandro Mazzola, helping cement its stylish, approachable image. Related forms include Alessandro, Alejandro, Alexandre, Aleksandar and Aleksandr(e), as well as Georgian Aleksandre; diminutives and cognates range from Xander, Sander, and Sasha to Italian Sandrino.
