My helper or protector of men
Elisandro is a rare Spanish and Portuguese name likely formed as a blend of Elias, meaning 'my God is Yahweh', and Alejandro, meaning 'defender of men'. It carries a rhythmic, romantic quality common to multi-syllabic Iberian names. While uncommon in the United States, it offers a distinctive alternative to more popular biblical and Greek-derived classics.
