Alexina
Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Alexina: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2013.
A feminine form of Alexander, Alexina traces its roots to the Greek Alexandros, meaning "defender of men." The name enjoyed modest popularity in Scotland during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often given to honour male relatives while retaining a distinctly feminine sound. Notable bearers include Canadian composer Alexina Louie, whose works blend Western and Eastern traditions, and Alexina Duchamp, sister of the artist Marcel Duchamp and a gifted painter in her own right. Unlike its more common relatives Alexa and Alexandra, Alexina carries a vintage charm that feels both distinctive and softly familiar, making it a rare but lovely choice for parents drawn to classic names with a gentle twist.
