Cassandri
Cassandri Origin and Meaning
Cassandri is a feminine name that appears to be a variation of Cassandra, which has ancient Greek origins. The original Cassandra was a princess of Troy in Greek mythology who was blessed with the gift of prophecy but cursed that no one would believe her predictions. The name derives from elements meaning 'to shine upon men.' Cassandri offers a unique twist on the more common Cassandra, potentially reflecting Italian or French influence in its ending. While considerably rarer than Cassandra, this variant maintains the mythological connections and elegant sound of the original. The name carries connotations of wisdom, foresight, and beauty, though also the tragic element of the mythological figure's unheeded warnings. Nicknames like 'Cass' or 'Cassie' provide more casual alternatives.
