Is alexis a girl name

Answer 1

Yes and No.

Alexis is a traditionally male name taking its derivation from the Greek spelling of Alexander. Through history there have been many historical figures (men) with this name. Depending on what country you live in however, you may see more or less of either gender by that name.

In the US, Alexis has trended toward girls names in a manner consistent with many other boy names adapted by parents looking to get creative by giving their girls boy names such as Dylan, Logan, Hayden, Riley, Morgan, Kendall, Kyle, etc.

So in short, it is a boy's name, but it is frequently given to girls.
