Alexander is the Latin name for Alexander, it requires no further translation from English. The name originally comes from the Greek, Alexandros, which came into Latin as Alexander, and from there into English, Scots, German and Dutch as the same.

There are other variations of Alexander in languages derived from Latin such as Alessandro (Italian), Alexandre (French and Portuguese), Alejandro (Spanish) and Alexandru (Romanian).

there isn't a real Latin meaning per say...

Romans took some Greek words though to form a similar name.

alexo - to defend, help

aner - man

so together they would mean "the defender of man"

alexander, its a person. the "um" means its a direct object. in most latin sentences there is a subject that is doing a verb to a direct object. it the sentence was Cornelius amat Alexandrum, it would mean cornelius (the subject) loves (verb) alexander (direct object)
