History & Origin
Alexiss is a variant of Alexis, a name of Greek origin from alexein, 'to defend' or 'help', the same root behind Alexander. The doubled final s is a cosmetic flourish typical of late-century American spelling creativity.
It rode the wave of Alexis's popularity for girls in the nineteen-nineties but always stayed rare in this form. It reads as a period respelling rather than a distinct name, keeping Alexis's clear 'defender' meaning.
