Kasandra

Kasandra is a feminine name of Greek origin, a variant of Cassandra, which means "she who entangles men" or "prophetess." In Greek mythology, Cassandra was a Trojan princess blessed with the gift of prophecy but cursed so that no one would believe her predictions. Kasandra offers a slightly modernized spelling of the classic name while maintaining its exotic and mystical appeal. While less common than the traditional spelling, Kasandra gained modest popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s, appealing to parents seeking a name with historical depth but a contemporary feel. The name conveys strength and wisdom, making it a compelling choice for girls across many cultures.

Pronounced kuh-SAN-druh.
