History & Origin

Alysandra is a graceful variant of Alexandra, the Greek defender of man, reshaped with the familiar Alyssa opening. It belongs to the long line of Alexandra spellings that families adapt for a fresh look, and it reached a modest high in the early twenty-tens.

This spelling was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak, while Alexandra stayed a classic. A girl named Alysandra at that high is in her early teens today. The name offers a strong, ancient meaning in a flowing, contemporary frame.

Did you know? Alysandra's parent Alexandra shares its root with Alexander the Great, both built on the Greek words for defending and man.
