Alessandre is an Italian-derived given name of Latin origin, meaning 'defender' or 'protector'. It is composed of two elements: 'Alex-' from the Greek Alexander, and '-sandre', a variant of 'Sandros', which is derived from the Greek 'Andreas'. The name has been used predominantly in Italy, but it can also be found in other countries with Italian influence. Alessandre is often used as an alternative to more common names like Alessandro or Alessio, offering parents a unique yet familiar option for their child's given name.
"Alessandre is quite uncommon; only ten babies were named Alessandre between 2021 and 2023."
