Alexandria

A feminine name of Greek origin, the meaning of Alexandria is 'defender of mankind'. A name derived from Alexander the Great, Alexandria is the most notable city of ancient Egypt, situated on the southern coast of the Mediterranean. Biblically, it was Alexander who spared Jerusalem from harm. Thus, in his honor, it was declared that all the male Jewish born in the city in the period of a year were to be named after him. Also known as a female form of Alexandros, this name means 'turn away', 'protect', or 'keep off'. Alexandria became a major center of the international shipping industry in the world in the late 18th century. Notable people with this name include Alexandria Mills, the American beauty pageant winner; and Alexandria Riordan, a Polish-Irish-American figure skater who most recently competed for Poland internationally on a Junior National level.
