Alexias is of Greek origin, meaning 'defending men'. It's a unique and less common variation of Alexander, which has been popular throughout history. In Greece, Alexias was traditionally used as an alternative to Alexander, but it gained more international recognition in recent years due to its distinctive sound. The name Alexias consists of two elements: 'alexein', meaning 'to defend or protect', and '-as', a suffix denoting membership or relation. Therefore, the name could be interpreted as 'defender' or 'one who protects'. It has been used sparingly in various cultures, but its Greek heritage makes it particularly appealing to those interested in ancient history or culture.
"Alexias saw a peak in popularity around the mid-90s with 13 births recorded in 1996, followed by consistent appearance throughout the late 80s to early 2000s."
