Lexie for boys
Lexie as a masculine name is an uncommon usage of what is typically considered a feminine name in most English-speaking countries. Traditionally, Lexie is a diminutive form of Alexandra or Alexis for girls. When used for boys, it may be a nickname for Alexander, Alexius, or Alexis (which has historical usage as a male name in some cultures). The name has Greek origins, derived from the word 'alexein' meaning 'to defend' or 'to help.' As a masculine name, Lexie has a modern, gender-neutral quality that aligns with contemporary naming trends embracing softer-sounding names for boys. The name remains quite rare for males in most Western societies.
Pronounced LEK-see.
As of October 2026, Lexie ranked #1357 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #467 in 2010.
