From the Greek name Αλεξανδρος

Alexander the Great, King of Macedon, is the most famous bearer of this name.

parts of India. This was also the name of emperors of Russia, kings of Scotland
and Yugoslavia, and eight popes. Also, Sir Alexander MacKenzie was an explorer

~ Why "Defender" and why I like this name? ~
Defender, because of the main meaning of the name that is a defending man. I always really liked this name, it always makes me think of a brave knight, a crusader, a paladin, or some kind of very brave warrior, that's also why I used the picture of a Ragnarok Online Crusader for the layout, because that design with the shield and all that jazz looks really defending, isn't it?
