Cassie-Ann

Cassie-Ann is a modern compound name, a trend that became popular in the 20th century, especially in English-speaking countries. It combines 'Cassie,' a diminutive of Cassandra, and 'Ann,' a classic Hebrew name. Cassandra itself has ancient Greek roots, appearing in Homer's Iliad as a prophetess of Troy. The name Ann, a form of Hannah, has a long and distinguished history, being a biblical name meaning 'grace' or 'favor.' The hyphenated combination creates a unique and often more informal or endearing feel than either name individually.
