Alexanda Origin and Meaning

The name Alexanda is a girl's name.

Alexanda is a feminine name that appears to be a variant of Alexandra, with the 'r' omitted. Alexandra itself derives from the Greek name Alexandros, meaning 'defender of mankind' or 'protector of men.' This elegant variation maintains the strength and dignified quality of the original while offering a slightly softer pronunciation. Though less common than Alexandra, Alexanda provides the same access to popular nicknames like Alex, Lexi, or Sandra. The name carries associations with power and protection, linking back to Alexander the Great, the famous Macedonian ruler. While not as widely used as its more traditional counterpart, Alexanda offers families seeking something slightly distinctive an option that remains recognizable and sophisticated while standing apart from more common variations.
