Alexis
Greek · “Alexis is a Greek given name derived from the verb "alexein" meaning "to defend, to protect". It is related to the name Alexander and shares the same root. In ancient Greece, Alexis was primarily a masculine name, used by the 4th-century comic playwright Alexis of Thurii. In modern usage it has become gender-neutral, widely used as a feminine name in France, the United States, and English-speaking countries since the late 20th century.”
Isabelle
French · “Isabelle is the French form of Isabel, itself a medieval Iberian variant of Elizabeth, from the Hebrew Elisheba meaning "my God is an oath" or "my God is abundance". The name traveled from Spain and Portugal to France via the medieval court, where it was borne by queens including Isabelle de France. It became one of the most elegant and enduring French feminine names.”
Alejandra
Spanish · “Alejandra is the Spanish feminine form of Alexander, derived from the Ancient Greek Alexandros — a compound of alexein meaning "to defend" and aner meaning "man", thus "defender of men". The transition from Alexandra to Alejandra involved the characteristic Spanish phonetic shift from x to j. It is the female equivalent of Alejandro, one of the most prestigious names in the Spanish-speaking world.”
