Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Alondra

The name Alondra is a Spanish pet form of Alejandra (English equivalent Alexandra). Alejandra is ultimately derived from the Greek word “alexein” which means ‘to defend’ plus “andros” which translates to “man, warrior” in a relationship or possessive form. Hence the meaning: ‘defender of men or mankind’. Alondra is also the Spanish word for lark, which is a small brownish songbird known for its extravagant, melodious songs particularly while in flight. Alondra is currently the 23rd most popular girl’s name in Mexico (2010).
