This name was given to the prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) by the command of Allah and is one of the most common in Islam. The second part, 'Kender' (or Kender), comes from Turkic languages and means 'boy', 'sprout', or 'strong'. Thus, the full meaning of 'Alikander' can be translated as 'Exalted boy' or 'Strong son of Ali'. The name 'Alikander' has deep historical roots.
