Alexine, pronounced /əˈlɛksɪn/, is a feminine given name of Greek origin, derived from the male name Alexander. It means "defending men" or "protecting mankind". The name gained popularity in France during the 19th century and has since been used in various French-speaking countries. Alexine is also occasionally found in other European countries, as well as in North America.
The name Alexine appears to have had periods of popularity with a peak in the late 1940s and early 1950s, as well as more recently in 1994 and 2015. However, overall it has been a relatively uncommon name throughout most of the century, with fewer than 6 births per year being recorded for much of that time.
