Well, "Alexander" is the Latinized (Roman) version of Alexandros, which is his Greek name, and what he went by during his own lifetime. His full name would be Alexandros Philippou Makedonon (Alexander, [son] of Philippos, of Macedon). When the Romans later wrote about him, they Anglisized it to Alexander. The East did this as well, they called him Sikander. Incidently, his nickname (for close friends) would have been Aleko or Alekos.
