Where this word comes from
The feminine counterpart of Alexander. Derived from Latin Alexandra (“female given name”), from Ancient Greek Ἀλεξάνδρα (Alexándra), the feminine form of Ἀλέξανδρος (Aléxandros, “male given name”). The name is traditionally analysed as ἀλέξω (aléxō, “to ward off, defend”) and ἀνήρ (anḗr, “man”), genitive ἀνδρός (andrós), hence “defender of men” or “protector of men”. Compare Danish Alexandra, Swedish Alexandra, Icelandic Alexandra, English Alexandra and German Alexandra (“female given name”).
