Kassandra

Kassandra represents the Greek form of the name often written Cassandra in English. In Greek mythology, Kassandra is a Trojan princess with the gift of prophecy whose warnings are not believed. The name's etymology is debated; translations involving shining or excelling should therefore be treated as proposals rather than a settled definition.

The k is consistent with transliterating the Greek initial letter, so this spelling has a history beyond a modern preference for that letter. Kassie, Kass, and Sandra offer different nickname options. Compared with Cassandra, Kassandra makes the opening sound particularly clear and changes the visual style while preserving the same mythological connection. Parents may appreciate its substantial literary background while weighing the tragic aspects of the ancient story.
