Casandra

Meaning of Casandra

Casandra is a lyrical twist on the classic Greek name Cassandra, evoking the tale of the Trojan princess whose gift of prophecy was as powerful as it was misunderstood. Pronounced “kuh-SAN-druh,” it carries an undercurrent of quiet strength—like a soft-spoken oracle with a mischievous smile—and hints at a storied past without feeling overwrought. Though it peaked in the early 2010s—breaking into the mid-800s on U.S. baby-name charts—it’s now delightfully rare (just 12 little Casandras welcomed in 2024), making it a charmingly exclusive choice. Parents who love its mythic roots, melodious cadence and subtle dash of mystery will find Casandra both warm and persuasive, a name that feels like an invitation to write a new legend.
