Zane ~ Hebrew meaning gift from God
Alexander ~ English meaning defender of mankind
I have always wanted to name my child, if a boy, Shane Austin. To be a little unique, I decided I liked Zane better. Then I was married and my husband's middle name and his grandfather's name is Alexander. We decided to change Austin to Alexander to fit both our likings.
The name Zane is truly beautiful for a boy to me and is one that I have rarely come across.
