Alexx is of Greek origin and means "defender of mankind". It's a variant spelling of the more traditional Alexander, which has been popular for centuries. In some cases, Alexx may also be considered a female name due to its ending 'x', though it's predominantly used as a male name. The name gained popularity in the late 20th century and has since maintained a steady presence in naming trends. It's often shortened to Alex or Xander for informal use.
The name Alexx saw a peak in popularity between 1991 and 1994, with over 20 births per year each year during this period. However, it has since declined significantly, with fewer than 10 births per year recorded every year since 2006. Overall, there were 397 babies named Alexx between 1986 and 2023.
