Alaxander, of Greek origin, means "defender of mankind". It was originally derived from the name Alexandros, which was composed of two elements: 'alexein', meaning 'to defend', and 'andros', meaning 'man'. This name has a rich historical significance, with one of its most notable bearers being Alexander the Great, the ancient Macedonian king who established an empire that stretched across much of the known world. The name Alaxander is composed of four syllables and ends with a soft, consonant sound, giving it a gentle yet strong auditory appeal. It has been popular among various cultures throughout history, with notable figures such as Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, and Alexander McQueen, renowned fashion designer, further contributing to its enduring popularity.
The name Alexander experienced a notable increase in popularity between 1989 and 1999, with the number of births nearly doubling during this period. However, there was a decline in its usage from 1992 to 1999, as it took eight years for the annual birth count to reach ten after being consistently at five.
