Alexys is a modern feminine name that represents a creative spelling variant of Alexis, which has Greek origins meaning 'defender' or 'helper.' This alternative spelling emerged as part of the trend toward unique name variations in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. While the traditional Alexis rose to prominence in the 1980s and 1990s, Alexys gained modest popularity in the early 2000s as parents sought distinctive ways to spell familiar names. The 'y' substitution gives the name a contemporary feel while maintaining the recognizable sound and meaning of the original. Despite its nontraditional spelling, Alexys carries the same strong, protective connotations as its root name.
