Alexandria

The name that is transliterated as “Alexandria” in English has the same meaning than “Alexander,” i.e. “defending men,” “one who turns away evil.” (Source: Cornwall / Smith 1997 )

In Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) it is translated with a sign that depicts the lighthouse with a torch on top in the port of Alexandria (see here ). (Source: Missão Kophós )
