Cassidee
Cassidee Origin and Meaning
Cassidee is a feminine name that represents a modern, creative spelling variation of Cassidy. Cassidy originated as an Irish surname derived from 'Ó Caiside,' meaning 'descendant of Caiside' (a personal name related to 'curly-haired'). This particular spelling with the 'ee' ending emerged in the late 20th century as parents sought distinctive variations of popular names. Cassidee offers the same friendly, spirited sound as Cassidy but with a more overtly feminine spelling. The name gained modest recognition in the United States during the early 2000s when Irish-inspired names were trending. While less common than the traditional spelling, Cassidee appeals to parents wanting a name that's recognizable yet unique. It carries associations with Irish heritage and projects a playful, contemporary image.
