AlexanderAlexander is a common male first name. Its origin is Greek and it literally means "defender of men" (from ἀλέξειν aléxein
"to defend", and ἀνδρ- andr- "man"). It was originally one of the titles ("epithets") given to the Greek goddess Hera, who was believed to come to the aid of warriors in battle. In the Iliad, the character Paris is known also as Alexander. The name's popularity was spread by the military conquests of King Alexander III of Macedon, known as Alexander the Great.
The female version of the name is Alexandra.
Nickname: Alex, Alec, Allie, Lex, Sander, Sandy, Sasha (used primarily in Russia and surrounding countries)
