Alessandra

Alessandra is a feminina given name, the Italian form of the English name Alexandra, derived from the Latin ''Alexandra'' and the Ancient Greek ''Alexándra'' (Ἀλεξάνδρα), is the feminine form of the name Alessandro. The name Alessandra has other forms in Italian, such as Alessandrina (derived from the Latin ''Alexandrina'') and Sandra (a shortened form of ''Alessandra'').

In Italy, Alessandra was widely popular, especially in Florence, between the second half of the 15th century and the early 17th century. During this period, it was also recorded in ''archaic'' variants such as ''Alexandra'' or ''Lessandra''. In contemporary times, the name has fallen out of use in Italy but survives among Italophiles outside the country. Provided by Wikipedia
