Meaning & Origin
Alexanderjames is a boy's baby name of Greek and Hebrew origin, a compound of Alexander (from the Greek Alexandros, meaning 'defender of men') and James (from the Hebrew Ya'akov, meaning 'supplanter'). Both names carry enormous historical weight — Alexander the Great and the apostle James among the most influential figures in Western history.
Alexanderjames as a single compound name reflects the American and European tradition of recording hyphenated double-barreled names. It carries the combined force of two great name traditions — Greek heroism and Hebrew biblical legacy — in one grand statement.
