Defender of men
Aleck is a phonetic spelling variant of Alec, which is a Scottish diminutive of Alexander. It derives from the Greek name Alexandros, combining 'alexein' (to defend) and 'aner' (man). While less common than the traditional spelling, it offers a more straightforward phonetic approach.
