Alexiss, of Greek origin, means 'to defend'. It is a modern coinage, created by adding an 's' to the end of Alexander. This naming convention became popular in recent decades as parents sought unique and personalized names for their children. In some cultures, Alexiss may also be interpreted as a female version of Alexander or Alexis. The name gained prominence in English-speaking countries during the late 20th century and has since become recognized as a distinctively feminine given name.
The name Alexiss experienced a peak in popularity between 1994 and 1998, with the highest number of births occurring in 1995 (42 births). However, it has since declined significantly, with fewer than 10 births per year from 2007 onwards.
