Cassaundra Origin and Meaning

The name Cassaundra is a girl's name.

Cassaundra is a feminine name representing an elaborate spelling variation of Cassandra, which comes from Greek mythology. The original Cassandra was a Trojan princess given the gift of prophecy but cursed so that no one would believe her predictions. The name means 'she who entangles men' or 'prophetess.' This variant spelling emerged in the mid-20th century when alternative spellings gained popularity. Cassaundra offers a more phonetic spelling while adding a touch of uniqueness to the classical name. The additional 'u' gives the name a more ornate, sophisticated appearance. While less common than Cassandra, this variation maintains the same melodic quality and mythological associations while standing out visually. The name conveys wisdom, foresight, and classical beauty with its rich historical connections.
