Casaundra Origin and Meaning

The name Casaundra is a girl's name.

Casaundra is a feminine name representing an elaborate spelling variation of Cassandra, which derives from Greek mythology. The original Cassandra was a Trojan princess blessed with prophetic powers but cursed to never be believed. This alternative spelling emerged in the mid-20th century as part of a trend toward distinctive name spellings. The name carries the same meaning as Cassandra—'she who entangles men' or 'prophetess'—while offering a more distinctive appearance. Casaundra reached its peak usage in the United States during the 1970s but remained relatively uncommon. The unique spelling gives this classic name a contemporary edge while maintaining its connection to ancient mythology. The name projects wisdom, foresight, and individuality, appealing to parents seeking a name with both substance and style.
