Thinking about the name
Alexandra
Greek origin
“The classical feminine form of Alexander, derived from the same Greek roots meaning 'defender of men' but reframed as a woman of strength and protection. Alexandra has graced queens, scientists, and artists across centuries, most notably Tsar Nicholas II's wife; it carries both regal authority and intellectual sophistication. The name is timeless without feeling dated, strong without aggression.”
