Cassondre Origin and Meaning

The name Cassondre is a girl's name.

Cassondre is a feminine name that appears to be a creative variation of Cassandra, an ancient Greek name meaning 'she who entangles men' or 'prophetess.' In Greek mythology, Cassandra was a Trojan princess given the gift of prophecy by Apollo, but cursed so that no one would believe her predictions. This alternative spelling with the 'o' and 're' ending gives the classic name a French-inspired twist while maintaining its essential sound and heritage. The unusual spelling makes the name more distinctive while still being recognizably connected to its more common form. While quite rare, Cassondre offers the nickname options Cass or Cassie, providing both uniqueness and familiarity.
