Alejandra is a feminina given name, the Spanish form of the English name Alexandra, derived from the Latin Alexandra and the Ancient Greek Alexándra (Ἀλεξάνδρα), is the feminine form of the name Alejandro. The name Alexandra (now an archaic form) was the primary rendition in Spanish. However, the transition from Alexandra to Alejandra resulted from specific phonetic and orthographic adaptations in the Spanish language, whereby the letter "x" was replaced by "j" to conform to the language's phonological and orthographic conventions.[1][2]
