History & Origin

Casondra is a spelling variant of Cassandra, the ill-fated Trojan prophetess of Greek myth, whose name is traditionally linked to 'shining' and 'man.' The -son- spelling belongs to the 1980s appetite for personalized versions of familiar names, and it peaked near 1989.

Casondra rode Cassandra's 1980s popularity as one of its many respellings and faded with it in the following decades. It carries the myth-name's dramatic pedigree in a homespun spelling; Cassandra and Kassandra are its closest sisters.

Did you know? Casondra hides the word 'son' in the middle of Cassandra — a phonetic respelling that spread in the 1980s alongside Kassandra and Cassondra, each parent reworking the myth-name to taste.
