Thus, Alexandros means "defender of men."<p><span class="tophdg">Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: </span>There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the name Alexander, as it is of Greek origin. However, the concept of a "defender" or "protector" can be related to Hebrew names like Eliezer (Strong's Hebrew 461), which means "God is my help."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>In the New Testament, the name Alexander is used to refer to several individuals. It is a common Greek name that signifies a person who is a protector or defender. The name is associated with various figures, some of whom are mentioned in a negative context, while others are more neutral.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The name Alexander was popular in the Hellenistic world, largely due to the influence of Alexander the Great, the Macedonian king who created one of the largest empires in ancient history. His legacy made the name widely used across the Greek-speaking world and beyond. In the context of the New Testament, the name reflects the cultural intermingling of Greek and Jewish societies during the Roman Empire.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from alexó (to ward off) and <a href="/greek/435.htm">anér</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Alexander, a son of Simon of Cyrene, also a coppersmith, also two Jews<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Alexander (6).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 223: Ἀλέξανδρος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Ἀλέξανδρος</span></span> (i. e., defender of men), , <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="accented">Alexander;</span> <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> a son of that Simon of Cyrene who carried the cross of Jesus: <a href="/interlinear/mark/15-21.htm">Mark 15:21</a>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> a certain man of the kindred of the high priest: <a href="/interlinear/acts/4-6.htm">Acts 4:6</a>. <p><span class="textheading">3.</span> a certain Jew: <a href="/interlinear/acts/19-33.htm">Acts 19:33</a>. <p><span class="textheading">4.</span> a certain coppersmith, an opponent of the apostle Paul: <a href="/interlinear/1_timothy/1-20.htm">1 Timothy 1:20</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_timothy/4-14.htm">2 Timothy 4:14</a>; (others doubt whether both these passages relate to the same man; cf. e. g.
