History & Origin
Kazandra is a modern American respelling of Cassandra, the name of the Trojan princess in Greek myth who was gifted prophecy but fated never to be believed. Cassandra is generally derived from Greek elements read as 'shining upon' or 'excelling over' man. Its inventive spellings spread in recent decades, and Kazandra, with its K- and z, is one of them. It appears in United States records from the late 1980s and reached its faint high in the late 1990s.
It was never common in this spelling, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak, so a Kazandra from that high would be a young adult now. It reads as a living variant rather than a revival, and the standard Cassandra remains the usual form.
