SANDRA f Italian, English Short form of ALESSANDRA.../ALEKSANDRA From Catholic Saints on line.... St. Alexandra and Companions Feastday: March 20300 Christian women, Alexandra, Claudia, Euphrasia, Matrona, Juliana, Euphemia, Theodosia, Derphuta, and her sister, were martyred in Amisus in Paphlagonia. The women were burned to death in the persecution of Emperor Diocletian. So the name even has a connection to Croatia! As Diocletians Palace is located in Split.
