Alexandrea

Alexandrea is a Latinate variant of the Greek name Alexandros, composed of the elements alexein, meaning to defend or protect, and aner (genitive andros), meaning man, giving the overall sense of defender of men. The name rose to prominence through Alexander the Great, whose conquests in the fourth century BCE spread it across Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia. Alexandrea is a feminine form closely related to Alexandra, Alexandria, and Alejandra, all of which share the same Greek roots.
