Lexy
Girl name · 12 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Lexy: 12 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2010.
A sweet and modern diminutive, Lexy is typically a short form of Alexandra or Alexis, both rooted in the Greek *alexein*, meaning "to defend" or "to help," giving the name an underlying sense of strength and protection. While not widely recorded among historical icons, Lexy has been carried by contemporary figures such as German singer Lexy, known for electronic dance hits, and American dancer Lexy Panterra. No major place names derive directly from Lexy, but the root can be seen in the ancient city of Alexandria. This name is a popular variant of the more common spelling Lexi, and in Scotland it has been used as a lively, unisex-friendly choice since the late 20th century, often chosen for its fresh, approachable feel.
