Cassadi is Irish in Origin.

Cassadi is a modern phonetic spelling of Cassidy, the Anglicized Irish surname Ó Caiside ("descendant of Caiside"). The root personal name Caiside is commonly linked to the Gaelic cas, "curly, twisted," often interpreted as "curly-haired one." Pronounced KASS-uh-dee, Cassadi functions as a unisex given name, though contemporary usage skews feminine in North America and sees broader use across the English-speaking world.

The Ó Caiside clan of County Fermanagh were noted medieval physicians and poets, and their surname later traveled widely through Irish diaspora communities. As a first name, Cassidy rose in the late 20th century amid the surname-as-given-name trend, aided by pop-cultural visibility (e.g., David Cassidy; the outlaw moniker Butch Cassidy). Variants include Cassidy, Cassady, Casady, Casidy, Cassadie, Cassidee, Kassidy, and Kassadi; familiar short forms are Cass and Cassie.
