History & Origin
Alexza is a stylized respelling of Alexa, the short form of Alexandra, from the Greek Alexandros, 'defender of the people.' As Alexa and its relatives grew popular, decorative spellings like Alexza appeared, showing up on United States birth records from the mid-nineteen-seventies and again in later decades.
It stayed rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its high in the late two-thousands, so a girl named Alexza then would be a young adult today. The standard Alexa and Alexandra remain far more common.
