In Greek mythology, Cassandra was a Trojan princess given the gift of prophecy but cursed so that no one would believe her predictions. The alternative spelling Casaundre emerged as part of the trend toward distinctive name variations, particularly in the late 20th century. The unique spelling maintains the melodic quality of the original while offering individuality. Despite its uncommon status, the name retains connections to the strength and tragic wisdom associated with its mythological namesake. Casaundre typically follows the same pronunciation as Cassandra, though some may emphasize different syllables to reflect the spelling variation.
