The name Alexandra is a Greek name meaning "defending men". After I was adopted my mom chose Alexandra to be the English version of my Russian name, Svetlana.

I find it funny because I was born in England so I like that I have a name from a famous English play.]]> 2021-10-26 16:10:36 UTC https://padlet.com/robinallyn/f1fintlhakij93s3/wish/1845549275 https://padlet.com/robinallyn/f1fintlhakij93s3/wish/1845550729 My parents couldn't decide between Jasmine or Jessica, but the nickname Jessie won them over. ]]> 2021-10-26 16:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/robinallyn/f1fintlhakij93s3/wish/1845550729 https://padlet.com/robinallyn/f1fintlhakij93s3/wish/1845550852 My mom named me this because she wanted all A names for her kids. I know it has its origins in Latin but it also comes from Italian and Spanish roots. I also read online that it can mean "dark" or "rich." ]]> 2021-10-26 16:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/robinallyn/f1fintlhakij93s3/wish/1845550852 https://padlet.com/robinallyn/f1fintlhakij93s3/wish/1845555755 So my first name was chosen by my mom for two reasons. 1.) She wanted a "A" name since her and all of my siblings have "A" names and 2.) It was inspired by the Great Library of Alexandria, which was one of the largest libraries in the world (Egypt) at one point. We are definitely scholars in my household haha. "Alexandria" is a feminine name form derivedfrom Alexander the Great, hence "defender of mankind" ]]> 2021-10-26 16:12:43 UTC https://padlet.com/robinallyn/f1fintlhakij93s3/wish/1845555755
