Cassia
Meaning of Cassia
Cassia is a beautiful and unique name for a baby girl, pronounced as KASH-uh. The name has Latin origins, deriving from the word "cassia," which refers to a type of cinnamon known for its aromatic qualities. This association lends the name an exotic and fragrant appeal. Cassia is also linked to nature, evoking images of lush forests and the sweet scent of spice. A variation of this name is Cassie, which offers a more casual and familiar alternative. In recent years, Cassia has seen modest popularity in the United States, with occurrences ranging from 15 to 78 newborns per year since 1980. Although it remains relatively uncommon, its rarity adds to its charm and distinctiveness, making it an excellent choice for parents seeking an elegant yet underused name for their daughter.
