Alexa

Alexa is a feminine given name that originated as a short form of Alexandra, itself the feminine of Alexander, which derives from the ancient Greek elements alexein, meaning to defend, and aner, meaning man. The name has been in use across English, German, and Hungarian speaking cultures and gained widespread international popularity during the late twentieth century. It is closely related to Alexandra, Alexia, and Alexis, all of which share the same Greek root.
