Casandre is Greek in Origin.

Casandre is a French-influenced variant of Cassandra, from Ancient Greek Kassandra. The likely roots link "to shine/excel" (kekasmai) with "man" (aner/andros), yielding senses such as "she who shines among men," though the etymology remains debated. In myth, Kassandra was the Trojan prophetess cursed to have her true warnings disbelieved, a story that lends the name associations with foresight and tragic clarity.

The spelling Casandre streamlines the French Cassandre and appears mostly in francophone regions, especially France and Quebec; elsewhere Cassandra or Kassandra predominate. Use is documented from medieval and Renaissance Europe via classical revivals, with renewed popularity in the late 20th century. Variant forms include Cassandra, Cassandre, Kassandra; diminutives Cassie, Cass, Sandy/Sandra. Related but etymologically separate are Alexandra and Alessandra.
