    The Story Behind Alexsandra

    Alexsandra is a variant of Alexandra, which is the Latinized form of the Greek name Alexandros. The name Alexandros is composed of the elements 'alexein' (to defend, to help) and 'aner' (man, genitive andros). Thus, it means 'defender of mankind' or 'helper of mankind'. The feminine form Alexandra was famously borne by Cassandra, the Trojan princess, though her name is spelled differently, she was often associated with the meaning. The name has a long history of use in various cultures, particularly in Eastern Europe, where the 's' spelling is more common.
