The Alexander Tartan was first designed in the year of 2000. Alexander is a surname originating in Scotland, originally an Anglicised form of the Scottish Gaelic MacAlasdair. It is a somewhat common Scottish name, and the region of Scotland where it traditionally is most commonly found is in the Highlands region of Scotland. The Alexander surname means “repulser of the enemy” or “defender of men.” It derives from the personal name Alexander, derived from the Greek Aλεξαvδpoς (Alexandros), made up of alexin, meaning “to defend” and andros, meaning “man.” Although derived from a personal name of Greek origin, the Alexander surname is most commonly found in Scotland as an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name MacAlasdair.
