About the Name Xander
Xander is a bold, modern short form of Alexander meaning defender of the people. The 'X' beginning gives it an edgy, contemporary feel while maintaining the heroic meaning of its parent name.

Xander feels fresh, energetic, and distinctive, perfect for parents who want Alexander's strength in a cooler package.
