Cassadi

Cassadi is a modern variant spelling of Cassidy, which originated as an Irish surname meaning 'curly-haired' or 'clever.' This feminine adaptation uses the -i ending to create a softer, more distinctly feminine look while maintaining the original pronunciation. The name gained popularity as a given name in the United States during the 1990s, part of the trend toward using surnames as first names. Cassadi offers parents a fresh spin on the more common Cassidy while still preserving its Celtic roots and friendly, approachable sound. The alternative spelling gives the name a contemporary edge while retaining its connection to the traditional form.

Pronounced kuh-SAH-dee.
