Alexiss Origin and Meaning

The name Alexiss is a girl's name.

Alexiss is a feminine name that represents a modern spelling variation of Alexis, which itself derives from the Greek name Alexandros, meaning 'defender' or 'helper of mankind.' This contemporary spelling with the double 's' gives the traditional name a distinctive flair while maintaining its recognizable sound. Alexiss emerged as parents sought unique ways to personalize common names, particularly in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Though less common than the standard Alexis spelling, Alexiss offers the same strength and versatility while standing out on paper. The name carries connotations of intelligence and independence that have made the original Alexis popular, with the added benefit of uniqueness without straying too far from the familiar.
