Ale and Lessi in the feminine and masculine, Lessa in the feminine, and Lesso in the masculine are Italian equivalents of the English name "Lexee." The above-mentioned names serve as affectionate nicknames for the feminine proper names Alessia ("Alexis") and Alessandra ("Alexandra") and the masculine proper names Alessio ("Alexis") and Alessandro ("Alexander"), all of which ultimately derive from the Greek verb ἀλέξω ("to defend," "to protect"). The respective pronunciations will be "A-ley" and "LES-see," "LES-sa," and "LES-so" for the diminutives, "a-LES-sya" and "A-les-SAN-dra" for the feminine forenames, and "a-LES-syo" and "A-les-SAN-dro" for the masculine forenames in Italian.
