Alexandra is a feminine given name derived from the Greek elements 'alexein', meaning 'to defend' or 'to protect', and 'andros', meaning 'man'. It was borne by several members of European royalty, notably Queen Alexandra of Denmark who became queen consort to King Edward VII of the United Kingdom. The name has been widely used since the Middle Ages and remains popular today in many English-speaking countries.
