History & Origin

Allexus is one of the fancier spellings of Alexis, a Greek name meaning 'helper' or 'defender'. The extra l and the -us ending echo the everyday pronunciation while giving the familiar name a more elaborate look.

Allexus stayed a minor variant in United States records. It appeared around 1991, reached a quiet high of a couple dozen girls a year around 1996 as Alexis boomed, and faded afterward. A girl named Allexus then is in her late twenties now.

Did you know? Alexis, the name behind Allexus, shares its 'defender' root with Alexander and Alexandra, all from the same Greek verb for defending.
