Lexi-Rose

Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Lexi-Rose: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 6 births in 2013.

Of Greek origin, Lexi-Rose is a modern, hyphenated compound name blending Lexi, a diminutive of Alexandra meaning "defender of mankind," with the floral classic Rose, from the Latin *rosa*. This style of double-barrelled name became increasingly popular in Scotland from the 2000s onwards. While individual bearers are less historically documented, Alexandra has been borne by numerous queens and empresses, including Queen Alexandra of Denmark, consort of King Edward VII. The rose itself carries deep cultural symbolism, from Yorkist white roses to the national emblem of England. The spelling variant Lexi-Rose remains less common than un-hyphenated forms, offering a distinct yet familiar choice for a Scottish birth register entry.
