Álex is also used as a feminine name in Spanish, as a short form of Alejandra and Alexandra. However, it's more common for males. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be changed from "Masculine" to "Masculine & Feminine", and the " Meaning & History" section of this name should be changed to read, "Short form of Alejandro, Alejandra, or Alexandra."Sources: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_naming_customs https://forebears.io/x/forenames/álex
Following last comment, Álex in Spanish is definitely unisex. It is used by 48836 men and 352 women in Spain, according to the National Institute of Statistics. This should probably be corrected in the entry.Source: https://www.ine.es/widgets/nombApell/index.shtml
