Both first and last names are Hellenic of origin. all names in Hellas have a meaning.
First name:
Αλέξανδρος (Alexanthros - Alexander), it is not a "d" there, you spell it wrongly. It is a "th" like "this those there".
Comes from two Hellenic words:
Αλέξω - Alexo (verb), means: to protect by putting myself as a shield, or to protect by repulsion force.
used in other words like:
- αλεξικέραυνο (protect from lightining, lightning proof),
- αλεξίσφαιρο (protect by shielding against bullet, bullet proof),
- αλεξίπτωτο (protect from falling by aiding, parachute)
- αλεξιβρόχιο (protect from rain by shield, umbrella)
and a noun:
Άνδρας - anthras, the "th" ehre is same to "this", not in "theory", meansman directly and was widely used for "mankind" since in ancient times mankind was the men, women were seen as less off
Last name, I don't want to say because it is very unique and I am trying to stay anonymous, but it is Hellene as well, it has to do with messengers - angels. But it is not hebrew, the word is 100% Hellenic since messengers/angels in Hellas exist long before christianity and judaism.

Αλέξανδρος - Alexander is not latin, it is 100% Hellenic (Greek) from the Hellenic province of Μακεδονία (Makedonia). And no, I do not mean the ex-Yugoslavian gypsies that speak a Servo-bulgarian dialect who want to name themselves as Macedonians. I am talking about the historically correct and linguistically correct Macedonians (like me) which are Hellenes.

Middle name means "bee" in Greek. Bzzzz
Μέλισσα (Melissa), the tone here in the Hellenic Bee is in the first "e" -> M ->e<- llisa, not like in english that they tone it in the "i"
