📖 Acerca de Alexandros
Alexandros es la forma griega original de Alejandro, que significa 'defensor del pueblo.' Lo llevó Alejandro Magno, el rey macedonio que forjó uno de los imperios más extensos de la historia, y también aparece en la mitología como el nombre de nacimiento de Paris de Troya. En la Grecia moderna, el nombre sigue siendo un símbolo de herencia clásica, con su onomástica el 30 de agosto en la tradición ortodoxa.
