Name meaning and origin
Aliskandar is a compound name: it is formed from the joining of the Arabic name “Ali” (exalted, high) with the name “Iskandar”. Iskandar is the Eastern form of the ancient Greek name “Alexandros” and is explained as “brave commander, protector of people”. Together the name means “brave and mighty commander Ali”.
In Azerbaijan the name Iskandar is known because of stories linking it to Alexander the Great and also to Dhul-Qarnayn, who is mentioned in the Quran. The combined form Aliskandar does not appear in the Quran as a person's name, but from an Islamic standpoint there is no prohibition on giving the name.
