Meaning and background
The story behind Alessia
Alessia is an Italian feminine form of Alexius. It shares an ancient Greek naming root with several Alex- names, but its direct lineage differs from Alessandra, which comes through Alexandra. Italian speakers generally stress the second syllable. The distinction is useful when explaining what otherwise look like two interchangeable versions of the same name.
