The Cutim slandered the Jews before the Roman leader Alexander Mokdon. He decided to go to Jerusalem to destroy the Temple.
On the way Shimon HaTzadik wore his High Priestly garments and went out to greet him. When Alexander saw Shimon he got off his horse and bowed down before, and thus the Temple was saved.
As an appreciation to the Roman leader, every boy born that year was called Alexander.
