Kassaundra

Kassaundra is the latest in a long line of variants inspired by the Greek name Cassandra. This name, a Latinized form of the Greek Kasandra or Kassandra, traces back to the mythological Trojan princess, the daughter of Priam and Hecuba. According to legend, Apollo granted her the gift of prophecy, but when she rejected his advances, he cursed her so that no one would believe her predictions. Kassaundra is derived from the Greek words skand, meaning "to shine," kekasmai, meaning "to excel," and aner, meaning "man," collectively translating to "shining upon man." With such a radiant meaning, let's hope that when your little one speaks the truth, their honesty will always be recognized and rewarded.
