Defender of mankind
Alexi is a diminutive and variant of the Greek name Alexander. It shares the same etymological roots, combining 'alexein' (to defend) and 'aner' (man), representing a protective and strong legacy. While often used as a masculine name in Eastern Europe, it has gained unisex appeal in the United States as a modern alternative to Alexis or Alex.
