Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Alec je anglická skrátená podoba mena Alexander. Jeho základom je grécke Alexandros (Ἀλέξανδρος), zložené zo slovesného základu alex- vo význame „brániť, ochraňovať“ a základu andr- od anér, genitív andros, „muž“. Tradičný výklad je „obranca mužov“, voľnejšie „ochranca ľudí“. Angličtina sprostredkovala podobu Alec, nie pôvodnú etymológiu.
