Cassiddy
Cassiddy Origin and Meaning
Cassiddy is a feminine name that serves as a 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-headed.' This particular spelling with the double 'd' adds a unique twist to the more traditional Cassidy. The name gained popularity as a first name in the United States during the late 20th century, part of the trend of using surnames as given names. Cassiddy projects a friendly, approachable image with a touch of Irish heritage. The name carries associations with strength and individuality, while maintaining a modern, unisex appeal, although it's more commonly given to girls. The distinctive spelling helps set bearers apart while retaining the familiar sound of the more common Cassidy.
