About Kassandra
Kassandra is actually the original form of Cassandra (Greek names do not have Cs), though most will see it as a Kardashianization, which is a shame! As you might expect, the C currently charts higher. Still, Kassandra can lead to all sorts of cute nicknames, such as Kassie, Kass, and Sandy.
Kassandra is also given to boys.
Pronounced kuh-SAN-druh.
As of October 2026, Kassandra ranked #1177 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #120 in 1993.
