History & Origin
Lexii is a stylised spelling of Lexi, the short form of Alexandra or Alexis, from the Greek Alexandros, 'defender of mankind'. Given as a stand-alone name, it belongs to the two-thousands fashion for turning nicknames into birth names with decorative spellings.
It stayed rare in this exact form, a couple dozen girls a year at most, even as plainer Lexi was common. A girl given it in the two-thousands is a teenager now, and the double-i spelling still reads as a modern flourish rather than a settled name.
