Kassandre is Greek in Origin.

Kassandre is a modern French-influenced spelling of Cassandra, from Ancient Greek Kassandra (Κασσάνδρα). The name likely combines kekasmai “to excel/shine” and anēr/andros “man, warrior,” yielding the sense “she who excels (or shines) among men,” while cultural association adds “prophetess.” Its earliest and most famous bearer is the Trojan princess Cassandra, daughter of Priam, gifted with true prophecy yet cursed by Apollo so no one believed her.

Use of Cassandra spread through classical literature, reappeared with Renaissance humanism, and entered steady currency in many European languages; it peaked in the English‑speaking world in the late 20th century. In French, Cassandre is standard; Kassandre arose as a distinctive contemporary variant, also seen in francophone and North American naming. Related forms include Cassandra, Kassandra, Kassandra, Cassandre, and Casandra; diminutives and nicknames include Cass, Cassie, Kassie, Sandra, Sandy, and Xandra.
