Alessanda
Alessanda Origin and Meaning
Alessanda is a feminine name that appears to be a variation of the more common Alessandra, which itself is the Italian feminine form of Alexander. Derived from the Greek elements meaning 'defender' or 'protector of mankind,' it carries a sense of strength and guardianship. This particular spelling variant is quite rare, giving it a unique quality while maintaining the melodic flow of its Italian roots. The name has an elegant, sophisticated sound that resonates with Mediterranean charm. While not as widely used as Alessandra or Alexandra, Alessanda offers a distinctive alternative for parents seeking something familiar yet uncommon. It conveys the same regal qualities as its more common counterparts while standing apart with its slightly modified spelling.
