April 3
Why this day? This is the day the name-day calendar sets aside for Alexander the Great.

Aleixo is celebrated in Spain and Brazil on April 3.
Aleixo is a name of Greek origin, derived from «Alexandros», meaning «defender» or «protector of men». It has a millenary history, linked to emperors and saints, and carries with it an aura of strength and protection. In Brazil, it sounds classic, but with a distinctive and elegant touch. It is a name that bears the weight of a solid tradition, but with the lightness of one who knows how to reinvent themselves.
Aleixo is that type of person who arrives in the group and already changes the rules of the game, not by being the loudest, but by having a magnetic presence. He is loyal unto death, but also has a sarcastic humor that only the closest friends can decipher. He seems serious at first glance, but is a goldmine of inside jokes and unexpected advice.
