Alexandra Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A female name. this and Alexandrina, both f. forms of Alexander, are mainly Russian, and were popularized in England by the marriage of Edward VII when Prince of Wales. But Alexandra is found in England in 1205 and Alexandria in 1218, and these may have been named after a 4th-C martyr. On the other hand, they may be mere latinizations of Alexander used as a girl’s name. The use of m. names for girls was far from uncommon until tile 15th C, especially when there were no sons in a family. Lyford 1655 gives Alexander as a f. name, and an early- 14th-C English legendary gives Alisaundre as the name of the mother of St Thomas of Canterbury.
