Origin
Meaning and history of Alixandrea
The name Alixandrea is a feminine given name derived from the Greek name Alexandros, which means "defender of men" or "protector of men." The name has its origins in ancient Greece and was later adopted by various cultures and civilizations.
Alexandros was a common name among the ancient Greeks, particularly in Macedonia, where it was borne by several kings, including Alexander the Great (356-323 BC), one of the most influential military leaders in history. His conquests and legacy played a significant role in the spread of the name throughout the Mediterranean region and beyond.
The feminine form of the name, Alixandrea, emerged during the Middle Ages, particularly in Western Europe. It was influenced by the Latin form Alexandra and the French spelling variation Alixandre. This name was often bestowed upon noblewomen and members of royal families, reflecting the admiration for Alexander the Great's accomplishments.
One of the earliest recorded examples of the name Alixandrea can be found in the 12th century, when it was borne by Alixandrea of Blois (1103-1142), a French noblewoman and the daughter of Stephen, Count of Blois. Another notable historical figure with this name was Alixandrea of Denmark (1459-1501), a Danish princess and the daughter of King Christian I of Denmark.
In the 16th century, the name gained popularity in Spain and its territories, where it was often spelled as Alejandra. One famous bearer of this name was Alixandrea of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (1882-1963), a German princess who married King Alfonso XIII of Spain and became the Queen of Spain.
During the Renaissance period, the name Alixandrea was also used in Italy, where it was sometimes spelled as Alessandra. One notable Italian figure with this name was Alessandra Strozzi (1406-1471), a powerful Renaissance woman and a member of the influential Strozzi family of Florence.
Throughout history, the name Alixandrea has been borne by various women from different backgrounds and cultures, reflecting its enduring appeal and connection to the legacy of Alexander the Great. Some other notable individuals with this name include Alixandrea of Hanover (1660-1735), a German princess, and Alixandrea of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (1878-1942), a German princess and the wife of Ernst II, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

FAQ
Alixandrea: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Alixandrea?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 97 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Alixandrea going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 3,533,550 US residents.
Is Alixandrea a common name?
We classify Alixandrea as "Very Rare". It ranks above 64.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 100 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Alixandrea most popular?
The single biggest year for Alixandrea was 1992, when 11 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Alixandrea is about 30 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Alixandrea in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Alixandrea a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Alixandrea in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Alixandrea still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Alixandrea in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Alixandrea can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
