Meaning & Origin
Alexandria (several cities in the Hellenistic world, but most especially an ancient capital of Egypt)
Alexandrea is a girl's baby name of Greek origin, an elaborated spelling of Alexandra, from the Greek Alexandros, composed of alexein (to defend) and aner (man), meaning 'defender of men' or 'protector of mankind.'
With over 8,600 recorded births, Alexandrea is a distinctive spelling of the powerful classical name Alexandra. The -drea ending hints at the ancient city of Alexandria, founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC and one of the great centers of ancient learning. For parents who love Alexandra but want something with a more visual distinction, Alexandrea is a grand and elegant alternative.
