This is the real name of the guitarist for Rush, Alex Lifeson. His real name is Aleksandar Živojinović. BUt to shorten it up, he changed Aleksander to Alex, and Zivojinovic to Lifeson because his real last name means "Son of Life"-Lifeson-

The traditional pet form for Aleksander is Olek - perhaps influencerd by the Ukrainian variant (Oleksandr). Nonetheless, a more modern pet form is Aleks, which is most likely influenced by the English short form Alex.
