Meaning & origin
Alixandra is a modern elaboration of Alexandra that first appeared in U.S. records in 1972. It reached its peak popularity in 1988 and has been on a downward trajectory since 1992. The name never ranked in the top 1000, and its one-in-N ratio is unavailable due to its rarity. Top states for the name are not recorded, indicating a scattered usage. Alixandra offers a distinctive twist on the classic Alexandra, with creative spelling and the familiar nickname Alex. Its decline began in the early 1990s, and it remains an uncommon choice today.
Alixandra is a modern English elaboration of Alexandra, itself the feminine form of Alexander, from the Greek Alexandros, meaning "defender of men" (from alexein "to defend" and andros "of a man"). The name first appeared in the United States in 1972 and saw modest use during the 1980s, peaking in 1988. It has since become less common, reflecting a decline from its peak.
