Shining upon man
A variant of Cassandra, which likely stems from the Greek elements 'kekasmai' (to shine) and 'aner' (man). In Greek mythology, Cassandra was a Trojan princess gifted with prophecy but cursed never to be believed. This specific spelling variation gained modest traction in the late 20th century.
Fewer than 5 girls were named Kassondra in 2025.
