Kasandra

Kasandra is a girl’s name of Greek origin. This steely name translates to “one who shines and excels over man” and is an alternative spelling of Cassandra or Kassandra. Those familiar with Greek mythology will remember Kassandra as the priestess who uttered true prophecies, but thanks to a curse put upon her by the god Apollo, those prophecies were never believed. While Kassandra’s fate is something of a downer, the name Kasandra can remind baby to trust their instincts and defend their point of view throughout life. This spelling also gives the name a distinctly modern edge to the more commonly seen Cassandra—despite being closer to the original—and is sure to make an impression on all those who hear it.
