What is the meaning of the name Cassiope ?

The baby name Cassiope is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced ka-SEE-oh-pee (IPA: /kəˈsiːoʊpi/).

Cassiope is Greek in Origin.

Cassiope is a rare feminine name from Ancient Greek Kassiópē (Κασσιόπη), the mythic queen whose Latinized form Cassiopeia named a prominent northern constellation. The name’s etymology is debated; it is commonly analyzed from Greek ōp-/ops (“voice; face”) plus an uncertain first element, yielding readings such as “excellent-voiced” or “she whose words excel.”

Usage tracks the celestial and classical revivals of the Renaissance and the 19th–20th centuries, though Cassiope remains far less common than Cassiopeia and the French Cassiopée. Cross-language variants include Cassiopeia (English), Cassiopée (French), Kassiopeia (German, Scandinavian), and Kassiope/Kassiopi in Greek contexts; short forms Cass, Cassie, Sio, and Pia are plausible. The mythic backstory - mother of Andromeda, famed for her boastful beauty - adds dramatic resonance, while the alpine heather genus Cassiope reinforces a nature-link, making this an arresting yet underused choice.
