Japanese No one named Cassie appears in the Bible. Cassie began as a short form of Cassandra, the Trojan prophetess of Greek myth, and of other names beginning with Cass-, such as Cassidy. It has been given as a name in its own right since at least 1880. None of these names has a Hebrew meaning.
Is Cassie in the Bible?
No. Neither Cassie nor Cassandra nor Cassidy occurs in the Bible, in the original Hebrew and Greek or in any translation. Cassandra is a Greek name and Cassidy an Irish one, and Cassie, the English short form made from them, appeared many centuries after the books of the Bible were written.
What does Cassie mean?
Cassie takes its meaning from the longer name it shortens. Most often that is Cassandra, the daughter of King Priam of Troy, who in Greek myth received the gift of prophecy from the god Apollo and was cursed so that no one would believe her warnings. The meaning of Cassandra is uncertain. It may join the Greek kekasmai, “to excel, to surpass,” with anēr, “man,” and the meanings sometimes given for Cassie, such as “she who excels” or “shining upon men,” come from these guesses.
Cassidy comes from an Irish surname, Ó Caiside, formed from the byname Caiside. It was rarely used as a first name before the 1970s and became popular in the 1990s. Cass is a short form of both names.
Name references such as Behind the Name do not list Cassie as a short form of Catherine. In France, though, the Catholic names directory Nominis groups the similar spelling Kassy with both Catherine and Cassandra, and gives it the feast days of the Saints Catherine, among them Catherine of Siena on 29 April.
Is there a Saint Cassie?
There is no Saint Cassie. Nominis lists no saint named Cassandra either; it treats Cassandra as a name from mythology and gives it All Saints’ Day, 1 November, as its feast.
Is there a Bible name like Cassie?
The spice cassia is named in the Bible, in the psalm that describes a king’s robes as “fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia” (Psalm 45:8), and Keziah, the name of the second of the daughters born to Job after his suffering, means “cassia” (Job 42:14). Name references do not connect either word with Cassie.
How popular is Cassie?
Cassie ranked 271st among girls’ names in the United States in 1880, the first year of Social Security records. It was most popular in the early 1980s and reached 137th in 1982, then declined and left the top 1,000 after 2009. It is almost always a girl’s name.
