Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Alexey je latinkový prepis ruského mena Алексей, ktorému v slovenčine zodpovedá Alexej. Pochádza z gréckeho mena Alexios (Ἀλέξιος), odvodeného od slovesa aléxō (ἀλέξω) „brániť, chrániť, pomáhať“. Význam sa vykladá ako „obranca, ochranca“; ruština je sprostredkujúcim jazykom, nie pôvodom gréckeho základu.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Etymológiu a ruskú výslovnosť dokladá štúdia Russian Given Names: Their Pronunciation, Meaning, and Frequency; pravopisný variant a jazykové ekvivalenty uvádza Behind the Name: Alexey. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou všeobecných pravidiel pre mužské životné mená zakončené vo výslovnosti na spoluhlásku podľa Morfológie slovenského jazyka, pri zachovaní zápisu Alexey. Domácke podoby sú možnosti oslovenia, nie doložený rebríček obľúbenosti; Aljoša a Aljoška patria k ruskej tradícii. Konkrétne heslo v monografii Milana Majtána nebolo priamo overené.
