Alexsis

Alexsis is a feminine name that emerged as a creative spelling variation of Alexis, which itself derives from Greek origins meaning "defender" or "helper." This alternative spelling gained some popularity in the United States during the late 20th and early 21st centuries, part of the trend toward unique name spellings. The addition of the extra 's' gives the traditional name a distinctive touch while maintaining its recognizable sound. Though less common than the standard Alexis, Alexsis appeals to parents seeking a slightly unconventional take on a familiar name. The name carries the same strong, slightly androgynous quality as Alexis, but with an individualized spelling that stands out on paper.

Alexsis is also given to boys.

Pronounced uh-LEK-sis.

As of October 2026, Alexsis ranked #9750 in US births in 2012 SSA, peaked at #4058 in 1995.
