Cássia

Cássia is a feminine Brazilian and Portuguese name with a variety of origins. As a Greek and Hebrew name, Cássia relates to the cassia tree, which has fragrant seeds and bark similar to cinnamon. Cássia’s more obscure roots date back to the Etruscans, from Cassĭus, meaning “metal helmet.” This name became the surname of a prominent Roman family, lending a lofty air to this age-old title. Cássia comes brimming with warmth and spice and maintains a cheerfully headstrong spirit. What’s more, Cássia makes a beautiful yet subtle tree or nature name for your little sapling.
