Ἀλέξανδρος

The Greek word Ἀλέξανδρος (G0223I) is a proper name, specifically referring to Alexander. This name is rooted in two elements: ἄλ exon (meaning "defender" or "protector") and ἀнδρός (meaning "man"). The combination of these elements forms a name that essentially means "defender of men" or "protector of people." As a proper name, Alexandros is unique to an individual and holds significance not in its generic meaning, but rather in its association with that person. Its significance lies in the fact that it belonged to at least two notable individuals in the time of the New Testament, one of whom is mentioned in the Bible twice. This brief mention suggests that the name Alexandros may have been significant enough to be associated with someone of importance or notoriety. Without more context, however, it is difficult to determine the specific implications of this name in its occurrences in the Bible.
