Alejandra


Alejandra is a feminine given name, the Spanish form of the English name Alexandra, derived from the Latin Alexandra and the Ancient Greek Alexándra. It is the feminine form of the Spanish name Alejandro. The name Alexandra was the primary rendition in Spanish. However, the transition from Alexandra to Alejandra resulted from specific phonetic and orthographic adaptations in the Spanish language, whereby the letter "x" was replaced by "j" to conform to the language's phonological and orthographic conventions.
Alejandra is an uncommon name in Hispanic culture, where it has minimal prominence in Latin American countries. The name Alejandra also has another form in Spanish, Alejandrina, which can also exist as a patronymic surname.
