Lesandro

Lesandro is a masculine name with Latin and Greek influences, likely derived as a variation of Alessandro (Italian form of Alexander) or a combination of elements like 'les' and 'andro' (from the Greek 'andros' meaning 'man'). This distinctive name gained some recognition following the tragic story of Lesandro 'Junior' Guzman-Feliz, a young man from the Bronx whose 2018 death sparked community activism. Prior to this, the name remained extremely rare. With its melodic flow and distinctive character, Lesandro offers a unique alternative to more common names like Alexander or Leonardo. The name has particular usage in Hispanic communities, especially in the Caribbean and parts of South America, though it remains uncommon globally.

Pronounced le-SAHN-dro.

As of October 2026, Lesandro ranked #11460 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #6642 in 2019.
