Chassidy

Meaning of Chassidy

Chassidy, pronounced CHAS-i-dee (/ˈtʃæsɪdi/), is the playful, contemporary spin on the classic Irish surname Cassidy, originally from the Gaelic Ó Caiside meaning “descendant of Caiside” or “curly-haired.” This modern twist, with its unexpected “h,” feels both warmly familiar and refreshingly unique—like discovering a secret garden path in those emerald-green Irish hills. While it honors proud Celtic roots and timeless folklore, Chassidy also stands out with spirited flair, balancing strength and sweetness in every syllable. And thanks to that extra letter, she’ll have a built-in conversation starter every time someone asks how to spell her name. It’s a perfect pick for parents who want a name grounded in history yet positively shines on its own.
