Alexia
Girl name · 66 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Alexia: 66 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 6 births in 2008.
From Greek roots, Alexia is the feminine form of Alexis, meaning “defender” or “helper of mankind.” A notable bearer is Alexia Putellas, the Spanish footballer who has won multiple Ballon d’Or awards and captained Barcelona to Champions League glory. The name also connects to Princess Alexia of the Netherlands, daughter of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima. While no major place shares this exact name, the related name Alexandria is famously borne by the Egyptian city founded by Alexander the Great. A careful note: in medical terminology, “alexia” also refers to a reading disorder, though the name itself has avoided any negative association in everyday use.
