Alixis is of Greek origin, derived from the name Alexander. It means 'defending men' or 'protecting men'. This name has been popular throughout history, particularly among royalty and the nobility. It was borne by several kings of Scotland, including Alexander III. Today, it continues to be a attractive choice for parents seeking a strong yet approachable name for their child.
"Alixis appears to have been a popular name for newborns from the late 1980s to the early 2000s, with a peak of eight births in 1992. However, its popularity seems to have declined significantly after that year."
