Kassian
About Kassian
Kassian may be seen as a Kardashianed spelling of the rising saint's name Cassian, which is a variation of Cassius, but it could also be considered the authentic Greek male form of Kassiani, the name of a female saint revered as a hymnographer. However you spell it, this is an attractive and unusual name virtually unused in the US -- though we predict that will soon change. If you're hunting for unusual yet stylish Greek baby names, variations of this name should be on your short list.
Pronounced KAS-ee-uhn.
As of October 2026, Kassian ranked #2959 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #2673 in 2023.
Editor's take: The name Kassian is a boy's name meaning "hollow or cinnamon".
