Cassii Origin and Meaning

The name Cassii is a girl's name.

Cassii is an uncommon feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Cassie, which itself is traditionally a diminutive of Cassandra. Cassandra derives from Greek mythology, meaning 'she who entangles men' or possibly 'shining upon mankind.' The distinctive double 'i' ending gives the name a unique visual quality while likely maintaining the pronunciation of Cassie. This spelling variation might have emerged as parents sought more distinctive forms of the popular nickname, or it could reflect an attempt to create a more formal version of Cassie. The name remains quite rare in most English-speaking countries. Cassii has a contemporary feel with ancient roots, offering a blend of familiarity and uniqueness that might appeal to parents seeking something slightly uncommon but still recognizable.
