Often shortened to Alex, other nicknames include Ala, Alec and the rather jovial; ‘Smart Alex’ or 'Smart Arsed Bastard'. Probably the most famous person to bear this name was Alexander the Great king of Macedon (4th Century BC). Despite being a defender of men, he spent most of his time carving a huge empire out of Greece, Persia, Egypt and India. Also a royal name in Scotland leading to the recommendation that anyone bearing the name Alexander should avoid horse riding near the top of a cliff or canyon.
