Allessandra
Allessandra Origin and Meaning
Allessandra is a feminine name representing a variant spelling of Alessandra, the Italian form of Alexandra. Deriving from the Greek name Alexandros, it means 'defender of mankind' or 'protector of humans.' The double 's' spelling is less common than the traditional Italian form but adds a distinctive touch while preserving the name's elegant sound. While not as prevalent as Alexandra or Alessandra, this variation has gained modest usage among parents seeking a classical name with a unique spelling. The name carries a sense of strength and nobility, having been borne by various historical figures and cultural references. Its international recognition makes it adaptable across different cultures while maintaining its sophisticated Italian flair.
