Kassi Origin and Meaning

The name Kassi is a girl's name.

Kassi is a modern feminine name that likely originated as a variant spelling of Cassie, which itself is a diminutive of Cassandra. The name Cassandra comes from Greek mythology, where Cassandra was a Trojan princess given the gift of prophecy but cursed so that no one would believe her predictions. The spelling variation with 'K' instead of 'C' and the 'i' ending gives Kassi a contemporary, distinctive feel while maintaining the friendly, approachable nature of Cassie. This name emerged in popularity during the late 20th century as part of the trend toward creative spellings of traditional names. Kassi conveys a youthful, energetic quality.
