Meaning & Story
The feminine form of Alexander, from Greek meaning 'defender of the people' — also the name of the legendary ancient city founded by Alexander the Great.
Alexandria carries the grandeur of one of antiquity's most storied cities — founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, it became the intellectual capital of the ancient world. For a pet, it's an impressively ambitious name that suits an animal with a commanding presence. It has a certain old Hollywood glamour too, the kind of name that would have suited a prized show dog in a 1940s film. Alexandria is for the pet who was clearly born to be remarkable.
