Alexous is of Greek origin and means "helper, defender." It is composed of two elements: 'alex' meaning 'to defend', and 'eos' meaning 'dawn'. This name is derived from the Greek god Alexander, who was said to have defended humanity against numerous mythical creatures. The name Alexous itself however, is quite rare and has not been widely used throughout history. It is not one of the more common variations of Alexander or Alex, but rather a unique name in its own right. Its usage seems to be more prevalent in Greece and other countries with Greek influences.
"Alexous experienced its first and only boom of popularity in 1996 with five newborns sharing the name."
