Casandriah is English in Origin.

Casandriah is a modern elaboration of Cassandra, likely formed via Casandria/Cassandria plus the lyrical -iah ending. Cassandra derives from Greek Kassandra, name of the Trojan prophetess whose warnings went unheeded. The etymology is debated, but it is commonly interpreted as “shining upon men” or “she who excels men.” The -iah suffix echoes Hebrew theophoric endings (as in Isaiah or Jeremiah), though in this coinage it functions chiefly as an ornamental flourish rather than a true theophoric element.

Usage of Casandriah is rare and contemporary, aligning with late 20th–early 21st century trends that personalize classical names. Variants and related forms include Casandria, Cassandria, Cassandra, Kassandra, Casandra, and French Cassandre; nicknames range from Cass and Cassie to Sandra and Andria. The name retains Cassandra’s mythic resonance - insight, intuition, and a touch of tragic wisdom - while adding a softer, decorative cadence through its -iah ending.
