What is the meaning of the name Kassidie ?

Kassidie is English in Origin.

Kassidie is a modern, phonetic twist on Cassidy, the Anglicized Irish surname Ó Caiside. The underlying Gaelic personal name Caiside is commonly linked to cas, "curly," yielding the sense "curly-haired one"; most authorities gloss it simply as "curly(-haired)." As a transferred surname, it sits comfortably among Irish-to-English adaptations that later migrated into first-name use.

Use as a given name blossomed in North America from the 1970s, helped by pop-culture exposure to the Cassidy surname, and the name has since skewed feminine while remaining technically unisex. The name also sees some use in the UK and Australia. Kassidie reflects late-20th century creative respelling trends, paralleling variants such as Cassidy, Cassady, Cassidie, Cassidee, and K-initial forms Kassidy, Kassidee, Kassadi, and Kassadee. Common short forms include Cass, Kass, and Cassie.
