The meaning of Alexis is ‘helper’ or ‘defender’.
Alexis is from the Greek male name Αλεξις (Alexis), which meant ‘helper’ or ‘defender’, derived from Greek αλεξω (alexo) ‘to defend, to help’. This was the name of a 3rd-century BC Greek comic poet, and also of several saints.
In the English-speaking world it is more commonly used as a feminine name.

It was also used as a name for several members of the ruling house of Russia, including Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, Tsarevich (heir apparent) Alexei Nikolaevich and Tsarevich Alexei Petrovich.
While the name is male, it has been predominantly given to females in the United States since at least the 1940s, when actress Alexis Smith began appearing in films.
