I'll write another post about why we called it "Alexander." You're not far from the mark about it being related to "Alexander the Great." But not for the reason you think.

Given that Safari/WebKit is based on KHTML, I'd say that Alexander was named after KDE's Konqueror.

Yes, that is the relationship. All of the components were named after (K)conquerors.
