Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Sanda je osamostatnená skrátená podoba mena Alexandra, rozšírená najmä v rumunskom a juhoslovanskom prostredí. V konečnom dôsledku vychádza zo starogréckeho mena Alexandros, utvoreného zo slov alexein („brániť, chrániť“) a anér, v genitíve andros („muž, človek“), preto sa vykladá ako „ochrankyňa ľudí“.
