    A very popular male first name is pronounced al-ek-ZAN-der. It is of Greek origin, and its meaning is "defender of mankind, warrior." From the Latin form of the Greek name Alexandros. The name was probably coined originally as a title of the goddess Hera, consort of Zeus.

    Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) conquered and ruled the greater part of the known world before his death at the age of 33. History describes him as a man of high physical courage, impulsive energy, and fervid imagination. It was a royal name in Scotland.

    Alexander has 70 variant forms. Few of them are Al, Alasdair, Alastair, Alaster, Alaxander, Alcander, Alcinder, Alcindor, Alec, Aleco, Alejandro, Alejo, Alek, Aleko, Alex, Alexan, Alexandre, Alexandro etc.
