History & Origin

Alexanderia is an elaborated spelling of Alexandria, the ancient city and feminine name built on Alexander — Greek alexein, 'to defend', plus andros, 'man' — so 'defender of mankind'. The added -er- simply spells the full Alexander into the name.

It appeared among the Alexandria variants of the nineteen-nineties, peaking around 1993 before fading; it reads today as a younger woman's name and has largely given way to the standard Alexandria.

Did you know? Alexanderia stretches Alexandria with an extra syllable, folding the whole name Alexander inside it; it crested around 1993 at only a few dozen girls a year.
