About Alix
Alix is a traditional male name with French origins, though it's increasingly used for both genders in modern times. As a masculine name, it represents a classic French variation of Alex or Alexander, ultimately derived from the Greek name Alexandros, meaning 'defender of men.' While the spelling Alix appears medieval and sophisticated, it offers a distinctive alternative to the more common Alex. In France, the name has historical significance as a male name dating back centuries, though in English-speaking countries the spelling is sometimes assumed to be feminine. This brief, elegant name carries cultural sophistication while maintaining the strong, classic qualities associated with Alexander.
Alix for girls#5247 US
A chic and sassy French choice, popular in France but likely to be confused with the more prosaic Alex in English-speaking countries. Although sometimes used in the US as a variant spelling of Alex, the French name Alix actually derives from a medieval French form of the name Alice or Adelaide.
Several members of European royal family have borne this name, including Alix of France; Alix, Duchess of Brittany; and Alix of Hesse, Empress consort of Russia. More recent are Alix d'Unienville, WWII spy; Alix Kilroy, one of the first British women to become a public servant; and engineer Alix Pryde.
Pronounced AHL-iks.
As of October 2026, Alix ranked #7218 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1907 in 1993.
