Lex

Lex is a diminutive form of the name Alexander, which has its origins in the Greek name Alexandros. The name is derived from the Greek words 'alexein', meaning 'to defend', and 'andros', meaning 'man'.

The name Alexander was borne by several notable historical figures, the most famous being Alexander the Great, the legendary king and military commander who conquered much of the ancient world.

As a shortened form, Lex became popular in the 20th century, particularly in the United States. It has a modern, masculine sound and is often seen as a cool, casual alternative to the more formal Alexander.

While the name Lex may not have a deep cultural or religious significance, it carries a sense of strength and protection, reflecting its roots in the Greek language.
