📖 Sobre Alexandre

Alexandre é a forma portuguesa e francesa de Alexander, do grego antigo Alexandros — alexein ('defender') e anēr/andros ('homem') — com o significado de 'defensor do povo.' Na França, Alexandre viveu uma ascensão extraordinária: do posto 10 em 1981 subiu ao posto 2 em 1995–1998, quando mais de 9.000 bebês recebiam o nome anualmente — o segundo nome masculino mais popular do país. No Brasil, os dados dos anos 1980 registram o posto 11, com 145.239 portadores ao longo da década, testemunhando sua profunda penetração na cultura lusófona. Em Portugal, o nome carrega o prestígio dos grandes conquistadores e o legado literário de Alexandre Herculano, pai da historiografia portuguesa moderna.
