Lexi is a diminutive of the names Alexandra or Alexis, both of which have Greek origins. Alexandra is derived from the Greek name Alexandros, composed of 'alexein' (to defend) and 'aner' (man), meaning 'defender of mankind.' Lexi carries this meaning in a more modern, casual form. It gained popularity as a standalone name in the late 20th century, particularly in English-speaking countries.
