Alexus is a unique and modern unisex given name of Latin origin, derived from the masculine Alexander. It is often associated with qualities such as strength, leadership, and defense, reflecting its root meaning "defender of mankind." In recent years, Alexus has gained popularity as an independent choice for parents seeking distinctive names for their children. It is commonly pronounced /ˈælɪkʃəs/ or /ˈɑːlɛkʃəs/.
"Alexus saw its peak popularity with 21 births in 1998, but it has been relatively steady since the late '80s, with a notable dip after 2007 and before picking up again slightly in recent years."
