Lexy

Lexy is an English diminutive form of Alexandra or Alexis, both of which trace back to the ancient Greek name Alexandros, composed of the elements alexein, meaning to defend, and aner, meaning man. The name gained wider use as an independent given name in the twentieth century, particularly in English-speaking countries, as short forms became fashionable standalone choices. Related forms include Lexi, Lexie, and Alexa, all sharing the same Greek root.
