This is bullshit, Ren037, Ἀλέξανδρος is Alexandros and clearly his birthname. Iskandar is just the Persian variant that he goes by in middle-eastern countries. Not sure myself what Urobuchi thought by that (given that Alexander should be better known in Japan), but my guess is that since this version of Alexander is from the height of his conquests, they wanted to emphasize him going native in Persia. The Anime did make a point that he has a tendency of embracing any culture he is surrounded by like an over-excited tourist.
