Casandrea Origin and Meaning

The name Casandrea is a girl's name.

Casandrea is a feminine name that appears to be a variant of Cassandra, with roots in Greek mythology.

The name derives from Greek elements possibly meaning "to shine upon men." Casandrea offers a more elaborate and unique spelling compared to the traditional Cassandra, incorporating an additional vowel that softens the pronunciation. This variation maintains the mythological connections and elegant sound of the original while creating a distinctive identity.
