History & Origin

Alexxus takes the fashionable Alexis and doubles its x for extra flair, a very late-twentieth-century habit. Alexis itself comes from the Greek verb alexein, 'to defend or help', a meaning Alexxus carries unchanged beneath its showy spelling.

The variant appeared with Alexis's peak popularity, crested in the late nineteen-nineties, and faded within a generation. A girl named Alexxus is likely a millennial, and the elaborate spelling has not endured as Alexis has.

Did you know? Alexxus was one of the boldest respellings of the hugely popular Alexis, yet it stayed a long-tail name, given to only a few dozen girls a year at its 1997 peak.
