- Cassandra=كاساندرا
- ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY:
- Cassandra
- fem. proper name, from Greek
Kasandra, daughter of Priam of Troy, seduced by Apollo who gave her
the gift of prophecy, but when she betrayed him he amended it so
that, though she spoke truth, none would believe her. Used
figuratively since 1660s. The name is of uncertain origin, though
the second element looks like a fem. form of Greek andros "of
man, male human being."
