History & Origin

Alexcis is a variant of Alexis, the Greek Alexios meaning 'defender' or 'helper'. Alexis rose to the top ranks of American girls' names in the 1990s, helped by television and a fashion for -is endings, and inventive spellings followed. Alexcis adds a 'c' for a distinctive look while sounding exactly like the standard name.

This spelling stayed rare, reaching only a couple dozen girls a year at its high near 1999 while standard Alexis was very popular. A girl given it then is now in her twenties. Alexis has since cooled, and this variant reads as a spelling of that decade.

Did you know? Alexcis is one of several 1990s respellings of Alexis — Alexus, Alexys, Alexcia — that appeared as the name became a top girls' choice.
