Defender of men
A variant spelling of the Greek name Alexandros. It is composed of the elements 'alexein', meaning to defend or help, and 'aner', meaning man. While the 'er' ending is the standard English form, the 'ar' spelling is a less common variant often found in Slavic regions or as a unique phonetic choice.
