History & Origin

Alexcia is a modern American respelling of Alexia, the feminine of Alexis. Both descend from Greek alexein, 'to defend; to help' — the root shared with Alexander and Alexandra. The inserted C is purely graphic, one of many decorative letters U.S. families add to familiar names (said 'uh-LEK-shuh').

It appears only rarely in the U.S., far behind Alexia. Rare, familiar in sound, and modern in spelling.

Did you know? The C in Alexcia is silent decoration — the name is simply Alexia, from a Greek verb meaning 'to defend' or 'to help' (said 'uh-LEK-shuh').
