According to historical sources modern Kandahar was founded (or renamed) by Alexander the Great around 330 a.C., it is posible that the toponim <Kandahar> is his historical related to <Alexandria>, for example:
 
Alexandria > *Al-Ksandar > *Al-Kandsar > *Kandasar > Kandahar
 
(This chain is just an imagitive one, I don't consider it seriously!)
