Cassaundra is a radiant twist on the classic Cassandra. She hails from Greek myth. In legend, a Trojan princess was gifted prophecy by Apollo but cursed so no one believed her. The name itself means “she who shines” or “the Prophetess.” This variation, with its extra “au” flourish, feels like a melody in an Indian raga. In many Indian families, a name is a blessing wrapped in hope. Cassaundra dances off the tongue like a playful monsoon breeze, pronounced kuh-SAWN-druh. No crystal ball required—this name sparkles with vision, strength, and warmth, much like diyas glowing on Diwali night. Rare but memorable, Cassaundra inspires little girls to find their own voice and light up the world.
