Cassietta as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Cassietta

What is the meaning of the name Cassietta ?

The baby name Cassietta is a girl name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced kə-SEE-et-ə.

Cassietta is African American, English, Greek, Italian, Latin in Origin.

Cassietta is best treated as a modern English elaboration of Cassie, not an ancient name in its own right. Cassie is a pet form attached chiefly to Cassandra, from Greek Kassandra, whose etymology is uncertain; the second element is often compared with anēr, genitive andros, man. A second possible base is Latin Cassia, the feminine form of Cassius and also the cassia tree. The ending -ietta matches Italian diminutive patterns, so the practical literal sense is little Cassie.

Historically the spelling is sparsely recorded. Its clearest public association is African American gospel: Cassietta Baker George, born in Memphis in 1929, sang with the Caravans and wrote Walk Around Heaven All Day. That record places the name in mid-twentieth-century Black Protestant musical culture rather than in classical Greece or Renaissance Italy. Related forms include Cassie, Cassandra, Kassandra, Cassia, and Cassietta’s simpler Casseta/Casietta spellings.
