Alejandro
Sign in to saveAlejandro is a masculine given name, the Spanish form of the English name Alexander, derived from the Latin Alexander and the Ancient Greek Aléxandros (Αλέξανδρος), meaning "defender of man". The name Alexandro (now an archaic form) was the primary rendition in Spanish. However, the transition from Alexandro to Alejandro resulted from specific phonetic and orthographic adaptations in the Spanish language, whereby the letter "x" was replaced by "j" to conform to the language's phonological and orthographic conventions.
