Alessi is a modern Italian feminine given name, derived as a diminutive of Alessio or Alessandro, the Italian forms of Alexius and Alexander. The Greek root 'alexein' means 'to defend, help'. While Alessi has long existed as an Italian surname, its use as a first name for girls emerged in the United States in the early 21st century, likely influenced by surname-style naming trends.
