Kassiope is Greek in Origin.

Kassiope is a streamlined, K-spelled form of the mythic Greek name Kassiópeia (Latinized as Cassiopeia). The name is often interpreted as “she whose voice/words excel,” from Greek elements linked to “excel” (kekasmai) and “ops” meaning “voice” or “appearance,” conveying eloquence and distinction. In Greek lore, Kassiopeia was the vain queen of Aethiopia and mother of Andromeda; her story bequeathed the starry constellation Cassiopeia, which has kept the name familiar across languages.

Usage of Kassiope as a given name is rare and modern, favored by those seeking a celestial yet classical twist. Related forms and cognates include Cassiopeia/Cassiope (English/Latin), Kassiopeia (German), Cassiopée (French), Cassiopea (Italian), Casiopea (Spanish), and Kassiopeya (Russian).
