Aliaksandra

Aliaksandra is the Belarusian feminine form of Alexander, ultimately derived from the ancient Greek name Alexandros, composed of the elements alexein, meaning to defend, and aner, meaning man, giving the overall sense of defender of men. It entered Belarusian as the standard feminine equivalent of the masculine Aliaksandr, following the same phonological patterns that distinguish Belarusian from neighboring Slavic languages. The name corresponds closely to Russian Aleksandra, Polish Aleksandra, and the widely used international form Alexandra.
