History & Origin
Alexiz is a modern respelling of Alexis, whose Greek root alexein means to defend or help; the z ending gives the girls' Alexis a sharper, contemporary finish. It joined American records in the late 1980s as Alexis peaked for girls, and it stayed uncommon, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high around 2007.
A girl named Alexiz from the mid-two-thousands is a teen or young adult today, marking it as a distinctly millennial respelling. It is a style variation of a name that has since cooled, not a revival, and the plain Alexis remains the default choice.
