Cassara is in Origin.

Cassara is a rare feminine name tied to the Sicilian surname Cassarà and to modern English Cass- inventions. The surname is widely traced to Arabic roots brought to medieval Sicily: either qaṣr, “fort, castle,” giving a sense of ‘dweller by the castle,’ or qaṣṣār, “fuller,” a cloth-finishing trade. In contemporary baby-name use, Cassara is also read as an elegant elaboration of Cassia and Cassandra, inviting looser associations with “cinnamon/spice” (Latin cassia) and with “to excel, shine” from Greek elements behind Cassandra.

As a given name it appears in records from the late 20th century, sometimes via surname-to-first-name transfer in Italian or Maltese diaspora families, and sometimes chosen for its melodic, familiar-yet-rare Cass- sound. It remains uncommon and typically unranked. Variants and spellings include Casara, Cassarah, Kassara, and the accented surname Cassarà. Short forms: Cass, Cassie, and Sara/Sari.
