loosely translates to "triumphant queen of everything" in Swahili, Arabic, Sumerian, Persian, etc etc. When chosen as a name for a girl, it always accurately describes the person, who is most likely beautiful, smart, and amazing. The woman for which she is named was a prophetess, so all Cassandra's can foresee the future (she was also awesomely beautiful, thus all Cassandra's are gorgeous)

Get the cassandra mug.Related Words
Its a term in psychology taken from Greek myth. Cassandra was the daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba, she was a prophetic seer but lacked the power of persuasion and was never believed. So when we say someone has a "cassandra complex" its saying they know something terrible is going to happen but they can't or won't do anything to prevent it.
