Alexandar Origin and Meaning

The name Alexandar is a boy's name.

Alexandar is a masculine name representing a variant spelling of Alexander, which derives from Greek elements meaning 'defender' or 'protector of mankind.' This particular spelling variation may reflect Slavic influences, particularly from regions like Bulgaria, Macedonia, or Serbia, where similar forms are used. The name carries the same regal associations as Alexander, which has been borne by numerous historical figures, most notably Alexander the Great. While less common than the standard Alexander spelling, Alexandar maintains the strong, classic appeal of the original while offering a slightly distinctive written form. The name typically shortens to familiar nicknames like Alex, Xander, or Sasha in Slavic regions.
