Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

The name Aleksije is of Greek origin and is interpreted as “defender” or “protector”.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Aleksije je srbská podoba gréckeho mena Alexios (Ἀλέξιος), súvisiaceho so slovesom alexein (ἀλέξειν), „brániť, chrániť“. Význam mena sa tradične vykladá ako „obranca“, „ochranca“ alebo „pomocník“. Podoba Aleksije je doložená v srbskej pravoslávnej tradícii; Alexej je jej slovenský ekvivalent, nie grécka východisková podoba.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Grécke východisko a jazykové ekvivalenty: Behind the Name – Alexios; význam gréckeho základu: Behind the Name – Alexis. Srbská pravoslávna podoba: Pravoslavna imena – farnosť sv. Juraja. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou pravidla pre cudzie mužské životné mená zakončené na vyslovované -e, podľa vzoru kuli: Pravidlá slovenského pravopisu, 2000, s. 127. Ustálené slovenské domácke podoby konkrétneho mena Aleksije sa v použitých zdrojoch nepodarilo doložiť, preto zostáva ich zoznam prázdny. Údaj o zriedkavosti na Slovensku bol vypustený pre chýbajúci štatistický doklad. Nejde o posudok JÚĽŠ SAV ani Milana Majtána.
