my first cousin is Alexandria Quintanar, Olympic athlete.

My daughter's middle name is Alexandra.

My friend has a little girl by that name they shorten it to 'Lexi' which I don't like, I give her her full name.Heres what the name means,
Alexandra
Latinate feminine form of Alexander. It was very little used in the English-speaking world before the 20th century, when it was brought in from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. It owes its sudden rise in popularity in Britain at the end of the 19th century to Queen Alexandra, Danish wife of Edward VII. Derivatives: Italian: Alessandra. Spanish: Alejandra.
