Cassadey Origin and Meaning

Cassadey is a feminine name representing a creative spelling variation of Cassidy, which originated as an Irish surname derived from 'Ó Caiside,' meaning 'descendant of Caiside.' The name Caiside comes from 'cas,' meaning 'curly-haired.' This unique spelling with the 'e' adds a feminine touch to the traditional form. Cassadey maintains the rhythmic, appealing sound of the original while offering a distinctive written form.
