Aleksi is the nickname of Aleksanterinkatu street, the old main street of Helsinki.
The street is named after Czar Alexander I who was the first Russian ruler of Grand Duchy of Finland between 1809-1825. In many other countries the street would have been renamed but he is a notable person in the history of Finland in a positive sense.
