History & Origin

Cassadi is a modern respelling of Cassidy, an Irish family name anglicized from O Caiside, meaning descendant of a man called Caiside, a byname generally read as 'curly-haired'. Like Kennedi and Brookelynn, it swaps a -y for -i to give a familiar surname-name a fresh, personalized look.

Cassadi was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its faint peak around the year two thousand, well behind the mainstream Cassidy. A girl named Cassadi then is in her mid-twenties today.

Did you know? Cassidy shifted from a strictly Irish surname to a popular American girl's name largely in the nineteen-eighties and nineties; the -i respelling Cassadi is one of many that rode that wave a step behind.
