History & Origin

Lexee is a modern American respelling of Lexi, itself a short form of Alexandra and Alexis, from the Greek for 'defender.' It appears in United States records from around 1994 and reached its small high near 2000. Given to only a couple dozen girls a year, this spelling stayed rare even as Lexi and Alexis were popular.

A girl named Lexee near that turn-of-the-century high is a young adult today. It is a variant spelling of a beloved nickname rather than a revival; parents drawn to it usually pick the simpler Lexi or the full Alexandra.

Did you know? Lexee is Lexi in a party dress: the -ee ending gives the familiar nickname a bubbly, stand-alone feel, much like Kaylee did for Kayla.
