Girl name · 14 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Lexii: 14 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2012.
Lexii is a modern, playful spelling of Lexi, itself a diminutive of the Greek names Alexandra and Alexis, both rooted in *alexo* meaning “to defend” or “to help.” The name thus carries the enduring meaning of “defender of humanity.” While the double‑i spelling is a contemporary invention with no historical bearers, the more traditional Lexi has been popularised by figures such as American professional golfer Lexi Thompson and British‑German film director Lexi Alexander. No major places share the name’s root, though Alexandria (Egypt) draws on the same Greek source. Lexii sits alongside other creative variations like Lexie and Lexy, offering a fresh, distinctly modern twist on a classic defender name that has steadily climbed Scottish baby name charts in recent decades.
