Defender of mankind
Elexis is a modern phonetic variant of Alexis, which is derived from the Greek verb 'alexein' meaning to defend or protect. While the traditional Alexis is a classic unisex choice, this spelling emphasizes a feminine and contemporary feel. It shares the same strong etymological roots as Alexander and Alexandra.
