Cassandre is Greek in Origin.
Cassandre is the French form of Cassandra, from Greek Kassandra (Κασσάνδρα). The name is commonly analyzed as kekasmai “to excel, to shine” + anēr/andros “man,” yielding senses like “she who excels among men” or “she who shines upon men.” In myth, Cassandra is the Trojan princess and ill-fated prophetess, lending the name overtones of foresight and tragic wisdom.
In France, Cassandre gained literary cachet in the Renaissance through Pierre de Ronsard’s celebrated sonnet “À Cassandre,” addressed to Cassandre Salviati; the spelling with -e is standard and has seen occasional unisex or stage use (cf. the artist A. M. Cassandre). Variants include Cassandra (English/International), Kassandra (Greek/Scandinavian), Cassandre (French), and the masculine Cassander/Kassandros. Diminutives and related forms: Cassie, Cass, Andra, Sandra, Sandy; modern French/Quebec spellings may appear as Kassandre or Cassiandre.
