Meaning & Origin
A female given name from Ancient Greek, a rare spelling variant (or alternate transliteration) of Cassandra.
Kassandra is a girl's and boy's baby name of Greek origin, an alternate transliteration of Cassandra, from the ancient Greek — the exact meaning is debated, but possibly connected to kekasmai (to excel, to shine) or kassō (to inflame), meaning 'she who entangles men.'
In Greek mythology, Cassandra was the Trojan princess gifted with prophecy but cursed to never be believed — making hers one of history's most tragic stories. The K spelling offers a slightly more unusual visual presentation of this rich mythological name, with all its themes of truth, vision, and the pain of being right.
