Candase
Candase Origin and Meaning
Candase is a feminine name representing a modern spelling variation of Candace, which derives from the ancient title 'Kandake,' used for queens of the Kingdom of Kush (now part of Sudan). This alternative spelling emerged in the late 20th century when personalized spellings became increasingly popular. The name carries regal historical associations while its 'ase' ending gives it a contemporary feel. Despite its ancient roots, Candase has remained relatively uncommon, appealing to parents seeking a distinctive twist on a recognizable name. The name has a melodic quality and conveys strength and dignity, reflecting its royal origins. Pronunciation typically follows the same pattern as the more common Candace (KAN-dis), though some may emphasize the final syllable differently.
