History & Origin

Alexzia is a modern American respelling of Alexia, from the Greek root for 'defender.' It appears in United States records from around 1994 and reached its small high near 2004. Given to only a couple dozen girls a year, this spelling never became common.

A girl named Alexzia near that peak is a young adult today, part of the era of creative Alex- spellings. It is a variant rather than a revival; parents who love the sound usually reach for the cleaner Alexia or Alexa.

Did you know? Alexzia slips a Z into Alexia, a small change that makes the name look more elaborate while keeping the same 'defender' meaning.
