Italian feminine form of Alexander (From the Greek name Αλεξανδρος (Alexandros), which meant "defending men" from Greek αλεξω (alexo) "to defend, help" and ανηρ (aner) "man" (genitive ανδρος (andros)). Alexander the Great, King of Macedon, is the most famous bearer of this name. In the 4th century BC he built a huge empire out of Greece, Egypt, Persia, and parts of India.

A variation of Alexandra (Italian, so there could be some roman influence) The variations are Alyssa and Alyssandra. Ultimatly (and unfortunatly) Sandra. Lovely name! Sandra means "Defender of mankind". So are you gonna look after us all then? With a name like that, you might just make it...
