What Does the Name Kassidi Mean?
Kassidi is a modern English spelling of Cassidy, a name of Irish origin. Its customary meaning is "curly-haired," while its literal surname meaning is "descendant of Caiside." The Irish form is Ó Caiside, made of Ó, "descendant of," and the personal name Caiside. Caiside is generally explained as coming from Irish cas, "curly" or "twisted," plus a suffix, giving the sense "curly-haired." The spelling Kassidi is not from Irish; it is an English-language respelling that uses K for the initial sound and i for the final sound of Cassidy.
Kassidi Name History & Origins
The name ultimately comes from the Gaelic Irish surname Ó Caiside. That family was associated with County Fermanagh in Ulster, where the Ó Caiside were hereditary physicians to the Maguire lords. The surname was anglicized in forms such as Cassidy and Cassiday. As a given name, Cassidy is a modern surname-derived name rather than an ancient Irish personal name. Kassidi is a recent respelling of that given name, part of a group of variants such as Kassidy and Cassidi. The K spelling reflects English spelling conventions and does not represent a separate Irish root or a separate meaning.
