"Variant of Alessandro"
The name Elisandro is commonly a male name from the "Italian" origin.
Elisandro matches the Italian form Alessandro and the Spanish form Alejandro, with the opening vowel changed from A to E; all three continue Greek Alexandros. That Greek name is built from alexein, "to ward off", and aner, "man". The element -sandro is the same one that appears in Alessandro and in the Italian short form Sandro.
Alessandro means "Italian form of Alexander (defender of man)".
The pronunciation of Elisandro is eh-lee-SAHN-droh.
