Alexa sounds like a name from the future but has deep roots dating to ancient times, when Alexandria, Egypt, was the site of a large library. This historically rich name means “defender of men” or “protector of men” and is typically given to girls. Techies love the name too, and you may even already have an Alexa in your home in the form of the Amazon Echo. In terms of popularity, Alexa is ahead of Alexandra, Alexis, Alexandria, and Alejandra.
