Alejo is a classic masculine name of Spanish origin, meaning "defender" or "protector." It is derived from the Latin name Alexius, which is itself derived from the Ancient Greek name Ἀλέξιος (Aléxios), meaning "helper" or "defender." The name has a rich history, particularly in Spain and Latin America, where it is often associated with strength, loyalty, and a strong sense of family. Over time, the use of Alejo has remained relatively consistent in Spanish-speaking cultures, where it continues to be a popular choice for parents seeking a name that embodies traditional values and masculine identity.
