In February 1848, Alexandra converted to Russian Orthodoxy, taking the name of Grand Duchess Alexandra Iosifovna, which reflected her father's name Joseph (unlike many princesses she took a patronymic, choosing to reflect her parentage rather than the usual religious or dynastic associations which was also possible because Iosif was a common name in Russia).

I februari 1848 konverterade hon till ortodoxin och antog namnet Alexandra Iosifovna; till skillnad från den vanliga seden valde hon ett patronymikon som reflekterade hennes far snarare än en dynastisk eller religiös betydelse.
