'''Alexis''' is a given name of [[Greek language|Greek]] origin. Like the name ''[[Alexander]]'', Alexis derives from the {{langx|grc|ἀλέξειν|aléxein|defend|label=Greek verb}}.
'''Alexis''' is a given name derived from several saints venerated by the [[Eastern Orthodox]] and [[Roman Catholic]] churches, including [[Alexius of Rome|Saint Alexius of Rome]]. Like the name [[Alexander]], ''Alexis'' derives from the Greek verb ἀλέξειν (''aléxein''; 'to ward off, avert, defend'). The ending "-is" points at its belonging to the masculine gender (according to Greek grammar); however, many American women are owners of this name, partly based on modern American tendency of giving girls male names. The Russian equivalent of the name is Alexei, which has no female form. However many European languages, including Greek, use the female variant Alexia. ''Alexia''. It was also used as a name for several members of the ruling house of Russia, including [[Alexei I of Russia|Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich]], [[Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsarevich of Russia|Tsarevich (heir apparent) Alexei Nikolaevich]] and [[Alexei Petrovich, Tsarevich of Russia|Tsarevich Alexei Petrovich]].

Alexis is a given name of Greek origin. Like the name Alexander, Alexis derives from the Greek verb: ἀλέξειν, romanizedaléxein, lit.'defend'.

While the name is traditionally male, it has been predominantly given to females in the United States since at least the 1940s, when actress Alexis Smith began appearing in films.[1] It has been among the top 50 most popular names for girls in the United States since 1990. In the 2008 book 5-Star Baby Name Advisor, author Bruce Lansky writes that the girls' name has the image of a "sexy and seductive knockout."[2] The increase in popularity of the name is sometimes attributed to the notable character Alexis Colby from the American television series Dynasty. A 1978 film, Ice Castles, featured as the main character a blind figure skater named Alexis "Lexie" Winston.

Aleksi, a Finnish variant, was the third most popular name for boys born in Finland in 2007.[3] Alessia, an Italian feminine variant, was the second most common name for girls born in Italy in 2006.[4] Alesia, a feminine variant, and Aleksio, a masculine variant, are currently popular names for boys and girls in Albania.[citation needed]
