Meaning & origin

Kassadi is a modern invented name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1994. It follows a popular pattern of replacing initial 'C' with 'K' (as in Kassidy versus Cassidy) and adding a stylistic ending. The name's trajectory has been stable since its peak in 2003, where it saw its highest recorded use. While not among the top 1000 names, its consistent presence over three decades shows modest but enduring appeal. The name's top states of usage are not concentrated in any particular region, reflecting a broad but scattered distribution.

Kassadi is a modern invented name, likely modeled on the Irish surname Cassidy or created as a respelling of Cassidy with a 'K'. Cassidy itself derives from the Irish Gaelic Ó Caiside, meaning 'descendant of Caiside', an old Gaelic personal name. The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1994 and saw modest use in the 2000s, peaking in 2003.
