Meaning & Story
A spirited diminutive of Alexander or Sandy, meaning 'defender of men' — energetic, friendly, and full of life.
Zandy is a bouncy, informal nickname rooted in the classic Alexander — sharing DNA with Sandy, Xander, and Zander, all ultimately from the Greek 'defender of the people.' The Z opening gives it a modern, zippy energy that lifts it above its more traditional cousins. Zandy suits an energetic, friendly dog who greets everyone like a long-lost best friend and approaches every adventure with complete commitment.
