Cassundra

Cassundra is a feminine name that represents a creative spelling variation of Cassandra, which comes from Greek mythology. The original Cassandra was a Trojan princess blessed with the gift of prophecy but cursed so that no one would believe her predictions. The name derives from Greek elements possibly meaning 'to excel over men.' Cassundra emerged as an alternative spelling primarily in the United States during the late 20th century when individualized spellings gained popularity. While less common than the traditional Cassandra, Cassundra offers a distinctive twist with its 'u' replacing the traditional 'a.' The name retains the mythological connections and elegant sound of the original while providing a unique identity for its bearers.

Pronounced kuh-SUN-druh.
