Lexie

Lexie is a shortened form of the name Alexa, which is a feminine variant of the Greek name Alexander. Alexander is derived from the Greek elements 'alexein' meaning 'to defend' and 'andros' meaning 'man' or 'warrior'.

The name Alexa came into use in the Middle Ages as a feminine form of Alexander. It was particularly popular in England and other parts of Europe during the 19th century.

Lexie is a modern, diminutive form of Alexa that has become increasingly popular in recent years. The name Lexie has a youthful and energetic quality to it.

While Lexie is a diminutive of Alexa, it has also been used as a standalone name, sometimes with the meaning 'bright' or 'shining one'.
