Kassidee as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Kassidee

What is the meaning of the name Kassidee ?

The baby name Kassidee is a Unisex name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced KASS-ih-dee (IPA: /ˈkæsɪdi/).

Kassidee is Irish in Origin.

Kassidee is a modern, phonetic respelling of Cassidy, an Anglicized Irish surname from Ó Caiside. The Gaelic personal name Caiside is linked to cas, “curly(-haired),” giving the sense “descendant of the curly‑haired one.” Though the surname arose in medieval Ulster - borne by learned families such as the Ó Caiside physicians of Fermanagh - the given name developed later in English, with Kassidee preserving the same three-syllable pronunciation (KASS-ih-dee) while adopting a contemporary K and -ee ending.

As a given name, Cassidy entered broader Anglophone use in the late 19th and 20th centuries, gaining pop culture visibility via figures like Butch Cassidy and singer David Cassidy; by the 1990s it skewed feminine in the United States. Kassidee emerged alongside other creative spellings. Close variants include Cassidy, Kassidy, Cassidee, and Cassadee; short forms and nicknames include Kass, Kassie, and Cass.
