Defender of mankind
Alessa is a sophisticated Italian diminutive of Alessandra. It shares the same etymological roots as Alexandra, derived from the Greek name Alexandros, which combines 'alexein' (to defend) and 'aner' (man). While rare in the United States, it offers a modern, streamlined alternative to more traditional four-syllable versions.
