Meaning and background

The story behind Lexy

Lexy is another documented English pet form of Alexandra or Alexis, alongside Lexi and Lexie. Its final y changes the look rather than the pronunciation, which is generally LEK-see. Because these related spellings share the same nickname history, they should remain separate catalogue records without artificial new meanings being invented merely to make each entry different.

Origin
English diminutive of Alexandra or Alexis. Source
Pronunciation
LEK-see (/ˈlɛk.si/). Source
