Casondra Origin and Meaning

The name Casondra is a girl's name.

Casondra is a feminine name that emerged as a creative spelling variation of Cassandra, which comes from Greek mythology where Cassandra was a Trojan princess blessed with prophecy but cursed to never be believed. This alternate spelling gained some popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s when unique name spellings became fashionable. The addition of the 'o' gives Casondra a slightly different pronunciation and visual distinction from the more traditional Cassandra. Though never reaching the popularity of the original form, Casondra appeals to parents seeking a familiar name with an individualized touch. It carries the same sophisticated, classical associations as Cassandra while establishing its own unique identity.
