Defender of mankind
Xandra is a modern diminutive of Alexandra, which is the feminine form of the Greek name Alexander. It derives from the elements 'alexein', meaning to defend, and 'aner', meaning man. While its parent name is a pillar of traditional naming, Xandra offers a sleek, contemporary alternative.
