Alexandrina is an uncommon yet distinctive feminine given name of Latin origin, derived from Alexander, which means "defending men" or "protector of mankind". It has been used throughout history, notably by figures like Alexandrina of Scotland, daughter of William I of Scotland, and Alexandrina Victoria, the full name of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. The name Alexandrina is composed of two elements: Alexander and -ina, a feminine suffix. It rolls off the tongue with a certain elegance and carries an air of strength and sophistication, much like its male counterpart Alexander. In its entirety, Alexandrina encompasses the power and majesty suggested by Alexander while adding a touch of femininity and grace, making it a unique choice for parents seeking a distinctive name for their daughter.
"Alexandrina seems to have been quite popular among parents in the late 20th century and early 21st century, with peaks in popularity around the late 1980s to mid-1990s and again in the early 2000s. However, its usage has been somewhat inconsistent throughout the century, ranging from as low as five births in certain years to a peak of twelve in 1989."
