Cassadie
Cassadie Origin and Meaning
Cassadie is a modern feminine name that appears to be a creative variation of Cassidy, with the distinctive spelling offering a more overtly feminine appearance. Cassidy originated as an Irish surname derived from 'Ó Caiside,' meaning 'descendant of Caiside' (clever or curly-haired). The shift from the '-y' ending to '-ie' in Cassadie softens the name while maintaining its melodic quality. This spelling variation emerged primarily in the late 20th century as parents sought unique versions of popular names. While traditional Cassidy became popular in the 1990s, Cassadie remains much rarer, appealing to parents wanting familiar sounds with distinctive presentation. The name carries associations of Irish heritage with a contemporary American twist.
