Kassandria is Greek in Origin.

Kassandria is a modern elaboration of the Greek name Cassandra/Kassandra, ultimately from Kassandra (Κασσάνδρα). Most scholars parse it from kekasmai “to shine, excel” + anēr/andros “man,” yielding the sense “she who shines among men” or “one who excels.” In myth, Cassandra was the Trojan seer cursed so that her true prophecies were never believed, a story that made the name emblematic of foresight ignored.

While Cassandra circulated in late antiquity, it gained European visibility through medieval romances and saw Renaissance and modern revivals, peaking in many English-speaking regions in the late 20th century. Kassandria, influenced by the profile of names like Alexandria and by the ancient place-name Cassandreia, is the rarer contemporary variant. Related forms include Cassandra, Kassandra, Casandra (Spanish), Cassandre (French), and Cassandria; short forms Cassie, Cass, Kassi/Kassie, Sandra, and Sandy are common.
