Defender of men
Exander is a modern truncated form of Alexander, derived from the Greek name Alexandros. It combines the elements 'alexein', meaning to defend or help, and 'aner', meaning man. While rare as a standalone name, it captures the strength of its classic predecessor with a contemporary, streamlined feel.
