? · Answer

His actual name was Alexandros o Megas (Αλέξανδρος o μέγας) or Megas  Alexandros. Is a Greek name which other countries changed to Alexander or Alexandar etc. But for them is just a name without any meaning. 
In Greek it has a meaning as do all the Ancient Greek names and it means the protector of men.
