Meaning & origin
Alegandro is a rare Spanish spelling variant of Alejandro, itself the Spanish form of Alexander. The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1931, though it is extremely uncommon; it has never ranked in the top 1000. Its peak usage in the U.S. was in 1981, after which use declined. The name remains stable but not widely used, and it is most often seen in communities with Spanish heritage. As a variant, it carries the same meaning as Alexander: 'defender of mankind.'
