Meaning & Origin of Alejandro
Meaning: Protector of men.
Origin: Spanish (form of Alexander).
A common claim: Alejandro is often said to mean 'defender of mankind' or 'protector of the people.' Actually: The andr- root specifically means 'man/men,' not 'people' broadly — so 'defender of men' is the more precise translation than the popular 'mankind' gloss.
