Explanation:
This made me curious as I had always thougth that Alexia was the fem. for Alexis, but it seems I was wrong, as most sites I've seen seem to coincide it is a variant of Alexandra, in which case, the equivalent Spanish name would be Alejandra.

SO, JUST FOR YOUR INFO:

According to one site:

ALEXANDRA: Feminine form of Alexander, "defender of mankind." Some variants and diminutives are Alex, Alexa, Alexia, Alexis, Lexy, Sandra and Sasha.

ALEXIS: "Helper." Used as a short form of Alexandra, though it has a different root. Variants include Alessa, Alessi, Alexa, Alexi, Alexia, Lexi, Lexie, Lexy.


But according to another:

Name Alice
Gender female
Origin Old German, Greek
Meaning noble, truth
Similar Names Alicia, Alise, Alisa, Alison, Allison, Alyse, Alix, Alyce, Alexis, Alika, Aliki, Ali, Allie, Ally, Alisha, Alishea, Alyshia, Alysha, Alissa, Alyson, Alyssa, Allyssa, Al, Lyssa, Alseia, Alessa

I still agree that main names should not be translated though, unless you have a clear equivalent. For example, my name, Pilar (Mapi is short for Maria Pilar) has no translation that I know of in any language.
