| FOR REAL: Deriving from Ancient Greek words that possibly means "shining on man," Cassandra was a heroine of Greek tragedy given the gift of prophesy by the god Apollo, only to be cursed so nobody believe her visions were true. Cassandra was one of the most popular girls' names in medieval England, also found in the forms Cassander and Casse. | |||||
