Meno pochádza z gréckeho Ἄλεξις (Alexis), ktoré súvisí so slovesom ἀλέξω (alexó), teda „brániť, chrániť, pomáhať“. Význam sa vyjadruje ako „ochranca, obranca“. Oxfordský Lexicon of Greek Personal Names ho uvádza ako skrátenú podobu mena Alexandros; s menom Alexios patrí do rovnakej etymologickej rodiny.
