History & Origin

Lexxus springs from Lexus and Lexis, short forms of Alexis and Alexandra that trace to the Greek 'alexein', 'to defend'. The doubled x gives it a stylised, of-the-decade look. The identical car marque no doubt raised the sound's profile, but as a name it sits squarely in the Alexis family.

It was never common, reaching only a couple dozen girls a year at its high near 1996 before fading quickly. A girl given it then is now in her twenties. The Alexis family remains familiar, but this brand-echoing double-x spelling reads distinctly as a name of the nineties.

Did you know? Lexxus arrived alongside the brief 1990s fashion for Lexus and Lexis as girls' names, a moment when a sleek, modern sound outweighed the car association for many parents.
