Kassidey is Irish in Origin.

Kassidey is a contemporary variant of Cassidy/Kassidy, ultimately rooted in the Irish surname Ó Caiside. The surname means “descendant of Caiside,” a medieval given name thought to derive from Gaelic cas, “curly” or “twisted,” yielding the sense “curly‑haired one.” As a given name, Kassidey is pronounced KASS-ih-dee and keeps the bright, lilting cadence of its Irish forebear while offering a distinctive, modern spelling.

As with other surname‑to‑first‑name transfers, usage rose in the English‑speaking world in the late 20th century. It is technically unisex but now skews feminine in North America, with popularity boosted by the high profile of the Cassidy surname in music and television and by a broader trend toward creative K‑spellings. Close variants include Cassidy, Kassidy, Kasidy, Kassidee, and Kassidie; short forms and nicknames include Cass, Cassie, and Kass. Kassidey blends Irish heritage with contemporary style.
