Cassaundre Origin and Meaning

The name Cassaundre is a girl's name.

Cassaundre is a feminine name representing a creative spelling variation of Cassandra, which has ancient Greek origins. The original Cassandra comes from Greek mythology, where she was a Trojan princess blessed with the gift of prophecy but cursed so that no one would believe her predictions. The name means 'she who entangles men' or 'shining upon mankind.' This alternative spelling emerged in the late 20th century as parents sought unique ways to personalize traditional names. While less common than the standard Cassandra, Cassaundre offers a distinctive twist while preserving the melodic quality and rich mythological heritage of the original. The name conveys intelligence and insight, and its unusual spelling adds a modern, individualistic touch to a classically beautiful name.
