What does Lexi mean?
/ˈlɛksi/2 syllablesOrigin: Ancient Greek

Lexi is a modern short form of Alexandra, which comes from the Greek aléxō, meaning “to defend.” The same root gives Alexandra its traditional sense of “defender,” shared with related forms like Alexa, Alexia, and Alexis.

Lexi has a bright, energetic sound, well suited to a pet with a spirited, protective streak, small in stature maybe, but never short on nerve.
