This name derives from the Ancient Greek name “Aléxandros (Αλέξανδρος)”, composed of two elements: “aléxō (ἀλέξω)” (keep off, turn aside, guard, protect, defend, help) plus “anḗr (ἀνήρ) andrós (ἀνδρός)” (man “adult male”, husband). In turn the name means “defending men, protector of men”. This definition is an example of the widespread motif of Greek (or Indo-European more generally) names expressing "battle-prowess", in this case the ability to withstand or push back an enemy battle line. The name was one of the titles, "epithets", given to the Greek goddess Hera and as such is usually taken to mean "one who comes to save warriors". The most famous linked to this root is Alexander the Great, who created one of the largest empires in ancient history.

Get the alecmug. An absolute renaissance man. Alec Gagnon is the man that would walk into a bar, only to take your female partner. He’s the guy that everyone wants. He gives out Alabama Hot Pockets and Cleveland Steamers. Safe to say he’s a bad man, but in a good way

Get the Alec Gagnonmug. Alec is obviously sweet, but can joke a lot and annoy the ones he loves. But who can’t? His favorite line is “try and @ me” so that’s what we are here for.
