Best Answer

Alexi-, Alex-, Alexo-

The name Alexander probably originally meant protector
(just an educated guess).


***The above idea has a point,but 'alex' is just a prefix that means 'repel':Alexandros=Alex+andras(=man)=the one who repels men,etc.
The Greek word for protect is:προστατεύω (prostatevo)
