Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Kasandra je slovenská podoba starogréckeho mena Kassandra (Κασσάνδρα), známeho z gréckej mytológie. Jeho etymológia nie je spoľahlivo objasnená. Tradične sa spája so slovesom kekasmai vo význame „vynikať, prevyšovať“ a so slovom anér, v genitíve andros, „muž, človek“; podľa tohto výkladu by meno označovalo tú, ktorá vyniká medzi ľuďmi alebo prevyšuje mužov. Uvažuje sa však aj o predgréckom pôvode. V gréckej mytológii bola Kassandra dcérou trójskeho kráľa Priama a kráľovnej Hekaby a veštkyňou, ktorej pravdivým proroctvám nikto neveril.
