Alix Origin and Meaning

The name Alix is a boy's name.

Alix is a traditional male name with French origins, though it's increasingly used for both genders in modern times. As a masculine name, it represents a classic French variation of Alex or Alexander, ultimately derived from the Greek name Alexandros, meaning 'defender of men.' While the spelling Alix appears medieval and sophisticated, it offers a distinctive alternative to the more common Alex. In France, the name has historical significance as a male name dating back centuries, though in English-speaking countries the spelling is sometimes assumed to be feminine. This brief, elegant name carries cultural sophistication while maintaining the strong, classic qualities associated with Alexander.
