Alexa
Origin and Meaning
The name Alexa is a girl's name of greek origin meaning “defender of the people”.
Alexa is a modern and lively variation of Alexandra, with Greek roots meaning 'defender of the people.' It became immensely popular in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, partly due to its fresh, energetic sound. However, the rise of Amazon's virtual assistant by the same name has influenced its usage. Despite that, Alexa remains a beautiful name with rich historical connections. Common nicknames include Lexi or Ally, and it's a great choice if you want a name that's both strong and spirited.
