Alexsandr is an alternate transcription of the Russian name Aleksandr, which itself is the Russian form of the classical name Alexander. The spelling Alexsandr reflects the pronunciation of the Russian Cyrillic form Александр (Aleksandr) in a way that preserves the /ks/ sound more directly than the common English transliteration "Aleksandr". While less standard than Artsian or Aleksandr, this variant appears in some Russian-language contexts during transcription.The ultimate root of Alexsandr is the Greek name Alexandros (Ἀλέξανδρος), meaning "defending men" through a combination of alexo (άλέΕω, "to defend, help") and aner (άνλιυ, "man," genitive andro⏹). In Greek mythology, it served as an alternative name for Paris of Troy, associated with bravery and heroism. As recorded in the New Testament, the name appears of several early Christian figures.
