Meaning & origin
Alexy is a unisex name with Greek and Russian roots, a variant of Alexis and Alexei. According to U.S. Social Security data, the name first appeared in records in 1987 and reached its peak usage in 2002. Since 2022, its trajectory has been rising, though it has never entered the top 1000 and does not have a single-in-N figure. Its popularity remains rare, making it a distinctive choice. The name's dual heritage offers flexibility, and its spelling variations reflect a global appeal.
Alexy is a variant spelling of Alexis (from Greek Alexios, meaning 'defender' or 'helper') and also a transliteration of the Russian Alexei (from the same root). The name has been used across Eastern Europe and the English-speaking world, often as a unisex choice mirroring Alexis.
