History & Origin

Alixandria respells Alexandria, the long feminine form of Alexander, from the Greek for 'defender' and 'man' or 'people'. The name honors both that heroic sense and Alexandria in Egypt, founded by Alexander the Great. The -ix- spelling is a modern American styling of the classical name.

It appeared around 1985, held a faint high point around 1991, and remained rare while Alexandria itself stayed popular. An Alixandria today is most likely a millennial; the spelling is a decorative variant of a grand classic.

Did you know? Alexandria carries both a mighty meaning and the memory of the ancient Egyptian city of learning; the -ix- spelling Alixandria adds a personal flourish, and it stayed rare even as the standard form flourished.
