Pronunciation of Cassondra in North Carolina
Kah-sahn-drah
To say the 'Ca' use a 'k' and then drop your jaw like you are at the doctors when they tell you to say "ahhh";
To say the 'sson' use one 's' and do the "ahhh" voice again then add the 'n';
To say the 'dra' say the 'dr' like you would the first two letters in drum, then do the "ahh" noise once more.
That is how you say Cassondra.
Type of Name:
First name
Language:
Greek
Gender:
Female
Meaning:
the protector of women, children, and men
Additional Information:
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 refused to marry him, he cursed her so nobody would believe her prophecies. She predicted the defeat of the Trojan War, and begged the people of Troy not to make war with Greece. She was only believed by the women and children, who drank poison right before the Greek warriors came to slaughter and make slaves of them. The men who stayed to fight were massacred, and tortured. They should have all lisened to Cassondra.
In the Middle Ages this name was common in England due to the popularity of medieval tales about the Trojan War. It subsequently became rare, but was revived in the 20th century.
