In January 2020, commemorative coins were issued to celebrate his birth.

His name was announced a week later, and after much speculation an announcement from the base of the Palatine Hill named the heir Alexius Iosephus Leo Iohannes. His is named Abelarus for his maternal great-great grandfather Abelar, Lord of Dain; Joseph for his paternal great-grandfather Josephus Verrucosus; and Leo for his paternal great-grandfather Leo X Claudius. His birth was widely celebrated, as the future emperor, in Latium and Perateia, with a 21-gun salute taking place throughout the county, and the bells of Sancta Sapientia were rung for nearly five hours.

On 30 March 2020, Alexius was baptized by Pope Pontian XI at Sancta Sapientia, in Castellum ab Alba, using water from the Yarden River. Alexius's godparents are Prince Leo, Duke of Alba (her father's cousin); Joanna of Keld (Leo's wife); PLACEHOLDER (relation); and PLACEHOLDER (relation).
