As for the meaning of Alex- I have given examples in greek and also what the name means in greek. I don't see a meaning of the name in another language.
The root of the word also is common with "αλκή" . This means power in ancient greek.
In "lexiplasia" (which means molding of words) the use of alex- is still apparent.
Besides the use of alex- in antiquity, that formed the compound name of alexander giving it a meaning unlike other languages, let me give a couple examples more of words not of antiquity.
Αλεξινέμιο: That's windshield
Αλεξιβρόχιο: That's umbrella
As you see the signifier and the signified is present in every case in greek for this name. No other language can do this. And when other languges have the "Ξ" depicted as one letter, they use one letter.
