Etymology

Feminine form of Κάσσανδρος (Kássandros). Etymology unclear: first element possibly from κέκασμαι (kékasmai, “I shine; excel over”). Connected to Latin censeō (“to honour”) and Sanskrit संसयति (saṃsayati, “to announce”). Second element likely comes from ἀνήρ (anḗr, “man”). The rarer form Κεσ(σ)άνδρα (Kes(s)ándra) appears to be more ancient; compare Mycenaean Greek 𐀐𐀭𐀅𐀨 (ke-sa-da-ra).
