History & Origin
Alejandrina is the Spanish elaborated feminine of Alejandro, the Spanish Alexander, from the Greek Alexandros — alexein, 'to defend', and andros, 'man' — hence 'defender of the people'. The -ina ending gives it a lyrical, ceremonial length.
In the United States it appears chiefly among Spanish-speaking families and rose to its small peak in the nineteen-nineties, later than the Anglo names in its cohort. It remains an uncommon but dignified heritage choice.
