Cassa is a modern, streamlined pet form arising from several Cass– names, most commonly Cassandra and Cassia. Cassandra derives from Greek Kassandra, likely built from elements meaning “to excel/shine” and “man,” and is famously borne by the Trojan prophetess; its sense is often glossed as “she who excels” or “prophetess.” Cassia comes via Latin from Greek kassia, “cinnamon,” yielding the botanical and spice meaning “cinnamon tree.”

As an independent given name, Cassa appears sporadically in English-language records from the 19th century but has gained more contemporary favor in the late 20th and 21st centuries for its crisp, nickname-as-name style. It can also truncate Cassiopeia. Variants and related forms include Kassandra, Cassandra, Cassia/Kassia, and the Byzantine Kassiani; diminutives are Cass and Cassie, with Cassy occasionally seen. The name reads chiefly feminine, though Cass works unisex.
