Alexzander is a modern, phonetic spin on the classic Alexander, which derives from the Greek *Alexandros*, meaning "defender of men" (from *alexein*, "to defend," and *anēr*, "man"). While the standard Alexander was famously borne by the ancient Greek conqueror Alexander the Great and the Scottish king Alexander III, the variant with a 'z' is a 21st-century innovation, likely influenced by the popularity of the name Xander. There are no notable historical figures by this spelling, but it shares a root with the city of Alexandria, Egypt. In Scotland, this creative spelling occasionally appears in modern birth records, giving a familiar name a distinctive, contemporary edge.
