Valitettavasti suomen kielisistä nimiluetteloista ei Cassandra nimeä löytynyt. Englanniksi löytyi seuraava selitys verkosta:

CASSANDRA
Gender: Feminine

Usage: English, Greek Mythology (Latinized)

Pronounced: ka-SAN-dra (English) [key]

From the Greek Κασσανδρα (Kassandra), which possibly meant "shining upon man", derived from κεκασμαι (kekasmai) "to shine" and ανηρ (aner) "man" (genitive ανδρος). In Greek myth Cassandra was a Trojan princess, the daughter of Priam and Hecuba. She was given the gift of prophecy by Apollo, but when she spurned his advances he cursed her so nobody would believe her prophecies.
