## Etymology

* Alex is the short form of Alexis which is from the Greek name *Ἄλεξις (Alexis)* meaning "helper" or "defender", derived from Greek *ἀλέξω (alexo)* meaning "to defend, to help". This was the name of a 3rd-century BC Greek comic poet, and also of several saints. It is used somewhat interchangeably with the related name *Ἀλέξιος* or *Alexius*, borne by five Byzantine emperors. In the English-speaking world it is more commonly used as a feminine name.
* Rhodes is a Topographic name derived from Old English *rod* meaning "cleared land", or a locational name from any of the locations named with this word.
* Astrug is a variant derived from Provençal *astruc* "lucky", ultimately from Greek *aster* "star" and thus having the extended meaning of "born under a good star". It was generally given as an amuletic name and sometimes used as a translation of Hebrew Mazel Tov and/or Gad which means "fortune, luck" in Hebrew.
